Forum Post: RE: How to get a dialog object's object-reference?

Hi Linden, What you can do is something like:- BUTTON-SELECTED     MOVE-OBJECT-HANDLE PB2 MAINHWIN     CALLOUT "DISABLEEXITBUTTON" 0 $NULL in your dialog. Then in the COBOL code:-           invoke button "fromHandle" using mainhwin               returning ws-button           invoke ws-button "disable"           invoke ws-button "destroyproxy" returning ws-button You create an instance of the button from the Windows handle and then when finished with the object you issue a destroyproxy when finalizes the instance of the button but not the underlying GUI object.
