Does anyone know what the difference is between "enabled" and "disabled" "static text" in ResEdit? -Ted

> Does anyone know what the difference is between "enabled" and "disabled" > "static text" in ResEdit? I assume you are editing dialog items. An "enabled" dialog item is one where a mouse click will be reported back to the program. If a user clicks in a "disabled" item, the click will (normally) not be processed by the application. If you are writting your own application, set these to allow you to ignore items you want displayed, but not clicked in. If you are looking at some other application, _don't_ change these. Programs often assume that the only items enabled were enabled "at the factory", and strange and unpleasant things can happen if you change these settings behind the programs back. Bob Hablutzel

If it is disabled, it will not be considered by ModalDialog as an item hit. It will be ignored. If it is enabled, it will cause ModalDialog to return with its item number. Normally, it will be disabled. See Inside Mac Volume one and the ModalDialog function for more info. -Andy Andy J.

Maybe someone can help me out:
1. I am trying to find a CDEF that I could use in a dialog to implement
a square button (no rounded corners). Ideally, I would like to be able
to place an ICON within the button just by putting the resource ID for
the ICON in the control itself. Does anyone know where I can find
something similar? I am really not up to writing a CDEF yet.
2. How do you "grey out" a button in a dialog when it is not a valid
choice?
Thanks in advance.
-Michael
