Checkbox visibility

[Derry]

Hi all
Newbie question
How do I access the visible property of a checkbox at runtime
I don't wish to set it to gray with BST_INDETERMINATE
I want to make it visible or invisible depending on some condition
I have searched the forum  :tdown
Thanks

Use the ShowWindow function :wink

Hi Tedd
ShowWindow sets a windows state - minimized,maximized,hide etc
It's not for controls

Thanks anyway

Every control: button,edit-box...is a window with some extra features, you may not realize it yet. Tedd is right :)

i also use ShowWindow to hide/show window controls.its very simple

Code Select Expand

invoke GetDlgItem,hwnd,CONTROL_ID
invoke ShowWindow,eax,SW_HIDE

I'm curious, is that how "tabs" work internally? Just shows/hides blocks of controls?

[ramguru]

Yes, this is also truth ,Mark Jones. There are 2 ways (AFAIK) it can be accomplished: you can show/hide every control; you can show/hide dialog that can hold plenty of them... The 2nd way is my favourite one.
