Is there a way to Hilite a button without disabling it? I am stuck on something. I working on an interactive simulation, and I want someone to click on a button, and then I will hilite it. Then, I want them to be able to click on the button again, and I can respond to it. Anyone have a clue?

Anyone > have a clue? Sure, you can use TrackControl as usual on the first click, then use HiliteControl to permanently highlight the control. If you do this, you will want to define a control (CDEF) with a third (or even a fourth) visual state, so that the second click will give some visual feedback. -- =Ned Horvath= ehorvath@attmail.com

Anyone >have a clue? HiliteControl() will highlight whatever *part* you specify, with special part codes for disabling (254, 255). So if you have a simple button, call HiliteControl(ctl, inButton), a radio button or check box, HiliteControl(ctl, inCheckBox), etc. -Bill Hofmann
