Hi,

My wish is to extend the GuiControl, Enable/Disable to accept a variable with 0 or 1, like Gui,Add,Control,Disabled%Var%

Since I have the following lines multiple times in my script:

And they could be as simple as this:
or this

Thus, saving lines of code 5 times (10 against 2).
Thus, avoiding typos and cleaning/simplifying the code structure

This is a good improvement; thanks for demonstrating its usefulness. I'll also do it for "GuiControl Hide/Show".

This change will be in the next update. Edit: It has been added in v1.0.38.02.

I do not want to strech it too much, but is it possible, to also add
Gui,Add,Control,Enabled%Var%

Out of consitency and because it would save us the need to negate a status var

I see your point, but I think it's a little too obscure. Besides, you won't have to invert the variable if you use "Disable" in both. For example:

SubmitIsDisabled := true
Gui, Add, Button, Disabled%SubmitIsDisabled%, Submit
...
GuiControl, Disable%SubmitIsDisabled%, Submit

The thing is that I can't toggle on the "gui,Add" part the result as I can on the "GuiControl" with En/Dis-able.
Or could I use +/-, I never tried? If so, forget the stuff below.

Assume I have a var that is true. But I want to enable the control.
Since "Gui,Add" only has a "Disabled" and no "Enabled" I can't do it I have to negate the var to do it


To have the syntax consistent I would appreciate to only write

Sorry, my bad,

I tried and it works with
Gui, Add, Control, -Disabled%var%

I didn't remember the +/- thing that can be left out, since it assumes +.
I got confused that the GuiControl has En/Dis-able but Gui hasn't.

I forgot about the ability to have a minus prefix too. Thanks for making it all clear now!
