You don't have to call the event.  It runs automatically every few milliseconds.  Just put the Select Case in the Update Event.  If you have a case for each of the buttons that you may want to enable/disable, the update event will update their enabled status to the value of the boolean variable every time it runs.  It sounds like a lot of overhead but you shouldn't notice any performance problems.]]> Wed, 14 Mar 2007 08:53:17 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6631&PID=21152&title=disabling-button#21152 <![CDATA[Disabling button : thanks for the reply.

thanks for the reply.  I am not sure what you mean.  I created a Commandbar object called "CommandBars" (like the sample).  I did see the UpdateEvent when i clicked the events button in the properties window and it showed up in the code behind file.  I still don't know how to call the event though??  ]]> Tue, 13 Mar 2007 19:58:57 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6631&PID=21142&title=disabling-button#21142 <![CDATA[Disabling button : Sorry, I should have followed...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6631&PID=21129&title=disabling-button#21129 Author: jcollier

Sorry, I should have followed up.  When you want to disable or enable a button, all you have to do is change the value of the boolean variable and the update event will do the rest.]]> Tue, 13 Mar 2007 11:33:04 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6631&PID=21129&title=disabling-button#21129 <![CDATA[Disabling button : Try declaring a global boolean...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6631&PID=21128&title=disabling-button#21128 Author: jcollier

Try declaring a global boolean variable then in the Update event set enabled propert of the button to the variable. 

In General Declarations:

dim blnBatchDetails as boolean
Const ID_BATCHDETAILS = 1

in CommandBars_Update event:

Select Case Control.ID
    Case ID_BATCHDETAILS
        Control.Enabled = blnBatchDetails
End Select

Hi, I'm trying out this software and i seem to have most of it working.  What i'm having problems with is being able to disable a button??  I  checked the tutorials and it only shows how to use "disabled icons" for disabled buttons.  could someone helpe me out?
 
Thanks
