setting enabled to false for button

[Guest]

Hi,
I've got a event procedure on_click for 'button' and the last line in
procedure is
Form!someForm!button.enabled = false
but that doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions please?

thanx

Try....

Forms!Mainform!ControlName.Enabled

Note that 'Forms' should be used rather than Form.

Hi,
Form is email typo only, I've got Forms in code.

Might there be a problem with disabling a control that currently has focus?

Yes, you cannot disable a button that has the focus. You must set the focus
elsewhere.

Forms!someForm!AnotherControlThatCanGetFocus.SetFocus

Forms!someForm!button.enabled = false

Note that not all controls can get the focus. For instance, Labels cannot
get the focus and any control that is not enabled cannot get the focus.
