Hi,

For containers, you would need to drill down the list of objects that
the container has. And since different container types are different,
you need a separate loop to do it, probably even a recursive loop.

** Procedure DisableControls
IF PARAMETERS() = 0
   m.oControlParent = THISFORM
ELSE
   m.oControlParent = m.oContainer
ENDIF

DO CASE 
CASE ATC("Pageframe",m.oControlParent.BaseClass)#0
   nCtrlCount = oControlParent.PageCount
CASE ATC(m.oControlParent.BaseClass,"Optiongroup,Commandgroup")#0
   nCtrlCount = oControlParent.ButtonCount
OTHERWISE
   nCtrlCount = oControlParent.ControlCount
ENDCASE

FOR i = 1 TO m.nCtrlCount 
   DO CASE
   CASE ATC("Pageframe", m.oControlParent.BaseClass)#0
      THIS.DisableControls(m.oControlParent.Pages[m.i])		

   CASE ATC(m.oControlParent.Controls[m.i].BaseClass, ;
   "Optiongroup, Commandgroup")#0
      THIS.DisableControls(m.oControlParent.Controls[m.i])

   CASE ATC("Container",m.oControlParent.Controls[m.i].BaseClass) # 0 OR ;
   ATC("Page",m.oControlParent.Controls[m.i].BaseClass) # 0
      THIS.DisableControls(m.oControlParent.Controls[m.i])

   OTHERWISE
      IF m.oControlParent.Buttons[m.i].TAG = "X"
         m.oControlParent.Buttons[m.i].Enabled = .F.
      ENDIF

   ENDCASE
ENDFOR


I haven't tested the above, but it is very similar to the one we are currently using in our system

>The FOR EACH loControl routine works well only for 1st level controls. Nested controls are not tested. I have lots of nested controls (inside a pageframe, inside a container, etc). THe SETALL() function looks promising since it sees all controls regardless of nesting. But how do you set it so that it only set the control to be disabled when control.TAG='X'?
>SETALL('enabled',.f.) will disable all controls, not just the ones with .TAG='X'. ??? Thank you!!!
