Hello everyone,
I support an application which has an Internet Explorer_Server instance in a pane of the application. There are a few buttons we would like to disable in the application, as it causes many an issue whenever users click on the buttons. The buttons which are part of the application/program are easy to disable (there was a "Print" button which we have disabled this way, thus forcing the user to use the "File->Print" option as that is the preferred method) but those which are part of the Internet Explorer_Server pane were inaccessible. Enter Junkew's IUIAutomation UDF.
I've been trying to follow the threads regarding IUIAutomation, and while I've been able to highlight the button (which in itself is a great accomplishment in my view) I can't find a way to disable said button. Is this even possible? If this were a regular button, I could get the handle of the control and manipulate it that way. I understand that the "automation" part doesn't include disabling items (who does that, right?) but I was wondering if someone savvier than myself knew of a method to do this.
Below is the code provided by simple spy (which I commented out to use the shorter version of the program at the end) Some information has been removed, but it was mostly to protect innocent servers. :-) Any guidance/assistance would be greatly appreciated.
