Since it's SDI, the preferred way of doing this is with the ON_COMMAND and ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI macros.

Look in the MESSAGE_MAP of your view. You should see some common handlers already:

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyView, CScrollView)
  //...
  ON_COMMAND(ID_EDIT_COPY, OnEditCopy)
  ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_EDIT_COPY, OnUpdateEditCopy)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

And if you are not using MFC, take a look at WM_INITPOPUPMENU to get the menu just before it is shown, then use EnableMenuItem() to Enable or Disable it.
