EnableMenuItem

[danslavik]

I've got another problem thats got me stumped.

I've got a dialog app with a popup menu in the system tray. I want to disable items in the menu but every method I've tried doesn't work.

This is what I've tried last and it doesn't work.

CMenu m_Menu, *pSubMenu;
m_Menu.LoadMenu(IDR_POPUP_MENU);
pSubMenu = m_Menu.GetSubMenu(0);
pSubMenu->EnableMenuItem(ID_POPUP_ABOUT, MF_BYCOMMAND | MF_GRAYED);

Thanks.
Dan.

you need to override CWnd::OnInitMenuPopup

Hope this helps

I had a quick look but couldn't find it. Is it available to a dialog app? My app doesn't have a main frame.

Thanks.

Add a handler for WM_INITMENUPOPUP in you dialog. To do this through class wizard you will need to go to the class info tab and change the message filter from Dialog to Window.

Hope this helps

I gave that a go but it still doesn't work.

I used the info on this page http://www.codeguru.com/mfc/comments/16665.shtml

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.

I'd like to help but I have to go out now. Post your code for WM_INITMENUPOPUP for others to see.


Hope this helps
