Hi,

My Nib file has a window with a button. In Cocoa, how do I programmatically
disable/enable the button?

Thanks,

Paul

You'd read the docs for NSButton, including all of its superclasses, and
hopefully find NSControl's -setEnabled: method.

1.) make an outlet for the button somewhere. the most likely spot would be in
the window's controller. connect the button to the outlet in interface
builder.

2.) at runtime, the outlet will be a pointer to an NSButton, so it's simply a
matter of calling:

BOOL state = TRUE; // or FALSE;
[button setEnabled:state];
