This article was previously published under Q39480 SUMMARY
A control is a child window that is responsible for processing keyboard,
mouse, focus, and activation messages, among others. A control paints
itself and processes text strings. The color of the text in a button or
static text control is automatically changed to gray when the control is
disabled with the EnableWindow function. However, If an application
subclasses a control to process WM_PAINT messages for the control, the
application can use the GrayString function to change the text color.
