I disable a Print command button when a given condition exists on a particular record. But the user wants a message to pop up when they click on a disabled button - for example: 'Print is disabled for On Hold Orders'.

Some alternatives are:

1) Keep the button enabled - but disable the function - misleading because it looks like they can use the button
2) Return .f. from the when - misleading also because it looks like the button is enabled.

If in fact no events fire upon clicking a disabled button - what workarounds are there, if any to accomplish this?

BTW - additional info: This app was converterted, I think, with the conversion utility that converts a 2.6 app to vfp. The converter makes every individual button part of a command group - either the converter did this or the people who originally wrote the app did it - I'm not sure. Maybe I can use this to my advantage by keeping the command group enabled but the button itself disabled? I haven't tested this yet. Just thought of it now while writing...

Any suggestions appreciated

Thanks
