simple dialogue control question

[chunky_lover_23]

Does anyone know a simple way to hide or otherwise make invisible a control (eg a combobox) item within a dialogue panel ?

Thanks

Statically (from the dialog editor): uncheck the "Visible" check box.

Dynamically (from the code):

USE DFWIN

ShowWindow(GetDlgItem(Dlg%hWnd, IDC_COMBO1), SW_SHOW/SW_HIDE)

This will work only while the dialog is active (i.e. after DlgModal or DlgModeless, not before), that is, from callback routines. To initialize a control to non-default-visible state, you have to do it from a dialog-initialization callback (DLG_INIT)
