Gt_SetGadgetAttrs is a stack based function. E does not provide this sort
of function call, so you must use Gt_SetGadgetAttrsA. Due to E's list
handling facilities, the code ends up looking virtually the same anyway :
Gt_SetGadgetAttrsA(gad,win,NIL,[GA_DISABLED,TRUE,0]);
instead of
Gt_SetGadgetAttrs(gad,win,NIL,GA_DISABLED,TRUE,0)

Wouter sent code for a DoMethod to the list some time ago, I seem to
remember. So, hunt through your archives for his message (I didn't save
it at the time, unfortunately). I think it was either July or August.

If you have WB2+ and don't mind relying on your users to have this too,
there are some functions in the Workbench or Icon library - can't
remember which - that will do this for you.

Unfortunately the article was written before E changed to a listserv, so
they have the wrong address anyway. I suspect this may turn out to be a
headache for Norm more than anyone else :)
