Hi Edward,

Let's assume you want to disable the 4th button of the toolbar. In that case (assuming you've named it MyCoolbar) you'r use somthing like:

ThisForm.MyCoolbar.Buttons(4).Enabled = .F.

If, however, you allow the user to customize the toolbar, you might have to scan through the buttons to find the unique key, so you'd write a function to handle this, which would return the index number of the button. You might write a method name FindBtnKey that'd look like this:

* Here's the function:
LPARAMETERS pCoolbar, pcSearchKey

LOCAL lni, lnresult, llfound
STORE 0 TO lni, lnresult
llfound = .F.
DO WHILE NOT llfound AND lni < pCoolbar.Buttons.Count
  lni = lni + 1
  llfound = (pCoolbar.Buttons(lni).Key == pcSearchKey)
ENDDO
IF llfound
  lnresult = lni
ENDIF
RETURN lnresult
* Call the above with what follows
lnkey = ThisForm.FindBtnKey(ThisForm.MyCoolBar, "KeyText")
IF lnkey > 0
  ThisForm.MyCoolbar.Buttons(lnkey).Enabled = .F.
ENDIF
