Just doing a bit of self teaching on visual basic, I have a list of buttons and when clicked I want to disable then and highlight them as red. I am ok on getting the button functions to work and I understand how to publish the gui as an .exe
Is it possible to save it so if i click on the button and it turns red and then i close the .exe and open it again the button stays red?
You’re asking three questions here; I’m not sure which ones you still need answered. At the risk of repeating what you already know:
1) To disable a button, set “enabled = false”
2) To change the color of a button, set “color = red”
… and …
3) To “persist” an .exe’s state when you run it, you’ll need to 1) save the current state (for example, to a text file, an .ini file, or an .XML file). 2) You’ll need to re-read that state when you open the program (e.g. in “Load form”). 3) It would be best to write the file would be all current settings at once, when you exit (e.g. in “Unload form”).
