Thread: Get Button State

hey, i'd like to know how i would go about getting the state of a button. what i need to do is check if all of the buttons (id's 500 - 512) are disabled and if they are, do stuff. if not, do nothing. i was thinking about using a SendMessage and sending WS_DISABLED to see if it would return true or false but A. i dont think thatd workd and B. i dont know if it needs a WPARAM & LPARAM. lol

thanks



<edit>
for some reason this function doesn't work ....

Code:

void GameCheck(HWND hwnd)
{
     int i = 500, enabled = 0;
     
     for (i = 500; i <= 512; i++)
     {
         if (EnableWindow(GetWindow(hwnd, i), FALSE) == 0)
         {
             EnableWindow(GetWindow(hwnd, i), TRUE);
             ++enabled;
         }
     }
     
     if (enabled == 0)
     {
         EnableDisable(hwnd, FALSE, 513, 0);
         MessageBox(NULL, "Game Over :)\nThanks for playing!\nYou can save the\nending stats if you'd like.", 
         "Done", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
     }
}

bed time

i did search it but i wasn't coming up with anything so i stopped searching. lol

thanks



its not working

Code:

void GameCheck(HWND hwnd)
{
     int i = 600, enabled = 0;
     
     for (i = 600; i <= 617; i++)
     {
         if (IsWindowEnabled(GetDlgItem(hwnd, i)) != 0)
         {
             ++enabled;
         }
     }
     
     if (enabled == 0)
     {
         HMENU hMenu, hFileMenu;
         hMenu = GetMenu(hwnd);
         hFileMenu = GetSubMenu(hMenu, 0);
         EnableMenuItem(hFileMenu, 2, MF_BYPOSITION | MF_ENABLED);
         
         EnableDisable(hwnd, FALSE, 513, 0);
         
         MessageBox(NULL, "Game Over :)\nThanks for playing!\nYou can save the\nending stats if you'd like.", 
         "Done", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
     }
}

am i doing something wrong?

LMAO....so i added some code to my ++enabled area..

Code:

         if (IsWindowEnabled(GetDlgItem(hwnd, i)) != 0)
         {
             _itoa(i, intchar, 10);
             strcat(hEnabled, intchar);
             MessageBox(NULL, hEnabled, "Enabled", MB_OK);
             ++enabled;
             hEnabled[37] = 0;
             hEnabled[38] = 0;
             hEnabled[39] = 0;
         }

and i declared hEnabled to be initialied with the text "The control with this id is enabled: " so when the message box popped up and said "The control with this id is enabled: 600" i thought to myself...600? that doesn't sound right...aren't the 600's the static controls and the 500's the buttons??
...yea...you can see where it goes from there... lol thanks :-D i usually try that for error checking but for some reason this time i didn't..



mm...it also doesn't help that i was having it check if the buttons were disabled BEFORE i disabled the button which was pushed, lol
