Hi !

[Quoted] [Quoted] I have an application where I want to grey out certain items (in fact, entire blocks). So, I just set the ENABLED property to PROPERTY_FALSE and things work perfectly !

[Quoted] Thats what I thought. Looking at the documentation, I found that setting the ENABLED property to PROPERTY_FALSE sets some other properties too. Now my question is: How can I set back these properties to the state I told them to have in the designer ? Do I have to hardcode these properties in my code ?

[Quoted] Is there another way to display my items in a greyed out style ?

[Quoted] I think it's generally a bad idea to have an action trigger other, non-reversible actions. What did the forms developers think by doing this ?

Walter
