Can anyone tell me that a button can disabled itself if not then tell me the reason.
I think a button can disable another button using set_item_property but it can not itself.
I want to know about the reason.
Thanks

of course , it can disable itself.

like

there are three buttons (pg1,pg2,pg3) on block cbk.

the code attached to pg1 disables the pg1 and enables pg2 and pg3.

trigger name: when-button-pressed

set_item_property('cbk.pg1',enabled,property_false);
set_item_property('cbk.pg2',enabled,property_true);
set_item_property('cbk.pg3',enabled,property_true);


hope u understand it.

Next time you reply to someone do you want to use the reply button (bottom right of screen) rather than start a new thread?
It's easier to follow if you do.

You can't ever disable the current item.
The current item is where the cursor is.
The cursor can't be in a disabled item (that's one of the main points of disabling items after all).
So you need to move the cursor somewhere else (with go_item) before you can disable the item.
