How can you disable a button (crt.Button) in Freedom UI?

As the title says, we sometimes need to disable buttons while still showing them - something which was easy to do in Classic UI. Is there any way of doing so in Freedom UI? I can't see any examples in OOTB Freedom UI areas, anywhere that does have disabled buttons OOTB are in Classic UI sections (e.g. the "Finish session" button on the System User page on the Access Rules tab when no record is selected).

Classic UI buttons have a property 'enabled'
Freedom UI buttons have a property 'disabled'

Hi Harvey, 

Does it not work to bind an attribute to the enabled property of a button and set as true/false? I've not tried that, but I assume it would work? Have you already tried that?

Huh, not sure how I missed that, could've sworn I tried doing that! Thanks both.

As a note, the only way I could find to put some kind of hint/tooltip on the button when it's disabled is by using the "title" property, which gives you a standard browser tooltip display when hovering the mouse over the button. And binding that to an attribute that you change to be blank when the button is enabled.
