Disabled SysLink controls appear with "enabled" look
If disabled SysLink controls appear with an "enabled" look, it is likely that the control is not being properly disabled. Here are a few troubleshooting steps that you can try:
Check the control's
Enabled
property: Make sure that theEnabled
property of the SysLink control is set tofalse
. This property controls whether the control is enabled or disabled, and if it is set tofalse
, the control should appear disabled.Check the parent control's
Enabled
property: Make sure that the parent control of the SysLink control is also disabled, if applicable. If the parent control is enabled, it can override theEnabled
property of the SysLink control and make it appear enabled.Check for custom drawing: If you are using custom drawing for the SysLink control, it is possible that your custom drawing code is not properly handling disabled controls. Make sure that your custom drawing code checks the
Enabled
property of the control and adjusts the drawing accordingly.Check for style conflicts: It is possible that there is a style conflict that is causing the SysLink control to appear enabled even when it is disabled. For example, if the control's style includes the
WS_TABSTOP
flag, it may appear enabled even when disabled. Make sure that the control's style does not conflict with its disabled state.Test with a new project: If none of the above steps work, try creating a new project with a SysLink control and test whether the control appears disabled when its
Enabled
property is set tofalse
. This can help to isolate the issue and determine whether it is related to your code or to the control itself.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of disabled SysLink controls appearing with an "enabled" look.
