absolute Newbie in C

[voxid]

Hi guys,
first of al i ve to say hello.. (first time in this forum).
then:
i tried to create a program to calculate some simple things..
i ve three editboxes and four pushbuttons. ok.. the when i push a button the program has to calculate. i tryed and it works. but now i stuck. i want to change a editbutton to be disabled by pressing another button. i cannot find the entrance to this way of programming. i searched for functions etc. everywhere. i only did find winapi and so on with c++ and nothing worked.
another problem:
how can i open a new window (it might be simple, but i dont check it.. poor beginners.. ;-))
can somebody help me please or tell me where i can read about it..
i did a lot off in vba.. and thought it should be simple to find the entrance.. it wasnt simple..
thanks a lot

The function you are searching for is EnableWindow, use the handle of the control and use TRUE or FALSE to enable or disable the control.

is the editbox a window?

I found a function SetReadOnly(hwndCtl,fReadOnly); for the editbox.. I don t know if it s the right one. and how to use it.

Any control (button, edit, etc.) is a window, since all are created with CreateWindow

Just google with this key "windows programming tutorial".
You'll find more then you need.

There is a great tutorial for beginning Windows programming:

www.winprog.org/tutorial

You can also check

win32assembly.online.fr/tutorials.html

It's for assembly, but code is very intuitive and the windows concepts are nicely explained.
