A Blue Star

I use this snippet all the time to disable/enable, hide/show, move MFC controls.


// Enables and disables an MFC control by name
void CCILikeChease::EnableControl( int iControl, bool enable )
{
// Enable Control
     CWnd* wnd_control = (CWnd*)( GetDlgItem( iControl ) );
     if( wnd_control != NULL ) {
          wnd_control->EnableWindow( enable ) ;
     }
}
void CNetworkDlg::HideControl( int iControl, bool show )
{
     // Hide the Control
     CWnd* wnd_control = (CWnd*)( GetDlgItem( iControl ) );
     if( wnd_control != NULL ) {
          if( show ) {
               wnd_control->ShowWindow( SW_SHOW ) ;
          } else {
               wnd_control->ShowWindow( SW_HIDE ) ;
          }
     }
}
void CNetworkDlg::MoveControl( int iControl, int top, int left, int sizex, int sizey )
{
     // Move the control
     CWnd* wnd_control = (CWnd*)( GetDlgItem( iControl ) );
     if( wnd_control != NULL ) {
          LPRECT lpRect = new RECT ;
          wnd_control->GetClientRect( lpRect ) ;
          lpRect->top = top;
          lpRect->left = left;
          if( sizex > 0 || sizey > 0 ) {
               lpRect->right = sizex + left ;
               lpRect->bottom = sizey + top;
          }
          wnd_control->MoveWindow( lpRect ) ;
          delete lpRect ;
     }
}
