#define INCL_WINMESSAGEMGR
 
BOOL WinEnableWindow(hwnd, fEnable)
HWND hwnd;       /* handle of the window */
BOOL fEnable;    /* enable-state flag    */
 
The WinEnableWindow function sets the window's enabled state.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
hwnd       Identifies the window whose enabled state is to be set.
 
fEnable    Specifies the new enabled state. If TRUE, the window state is set
           to enabled. If FALSE, the window state is set to disabled.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is TRUE if the function is successful or FALSE if an error
occurs.
 
Comments
 
If the enable state of the window is changing, a WM_ENABLE message is sent
before this function returns.
 
If a window is disabled, all its child windows are implicitly disabled,
although they are not sent a WM_ENABLE message.
