Please Add IsGadgetDisabled (or what ever name you like) as a PB native command.
Thanks

I'm writing for Windows, Mac and Linux, so Windows-only solutions are not suitable.
Use Set/GetGadgetData ?

Maybe it would be more appropriate to be able to use GetGadgetState with a couple new #PB_... flags to represent if the gadget is enabled or disabled?
Alternatively, if you set the gadget as enabled/disabled you could also then set a custom flag using the SetGadgetData function, then use GetGadgetData to retrieve the value to see if it's currently enabled/disabled.
(assuming you're not already using that data for some other feature)

Wouldn't be an internal PB function for IsGadgetEnabled executed a little bit faster than IsGadgetDisabled?

A disabled gadget should take longer to report its status, it only makes sense as it's going to be using a walker.

Some more GetGadgetState like:
Code: Select all
GetGadgetState(Gadget, #PB_IsGadgetDisabled)
GetGadgetState(Gadget, #PB_IsGadgetHidden)
GetGadgetState(Gadget, #PB_IsGadgetByBullFrogDesign) ;-)
would usefull!

State is for the items only, I prefer Attribute:
GetGadgetAttribute(Gadget, #PB_Gadget_Disabled)

Why not only
DisableGadget with a return value?
Code: Select all
If DisableGadget(#Gadget) = #True
...
EndIf

@Josh
What if you only want to get the state of he gadget and not actually disable it? Also this would introduce some kind of "meta behavior" which isn't really clear and should be avoided if possible - similar as currently having to use FileSize() to check if a file exists or is a directory.

c4s,
can't see the problem from our side. If such a construct is a problem for fred, is a other problem
SET a property:
DisableGadget (#Gadget, Status)
GET a property:
If DisableGadget (#Gadget)
...
EndIf
