Assuming you are using Tk, not Win32::GUI, you would do it like this: `$button->configure( -state => 'disabled' );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Following up on the previous answer: To enable the button again, you simply do this: `$button->configure( -state => 'normal' );` [download] Note: In my experience with Tk on Win32 and UNIX platforms, I've found that Win32 uses `'disable'` while UNIX uses `'disabled'`.	[reply] [d/l]
