menu item enabling

[joe_stoll]

MENU ITEM ID_VIEW_WINDOWS_MESH IS DISABLED WHEN PROGRAM STARTS, WHY NOT ENABLED?
WHEN I PUT THE FUNCTION "SwitchToView(IDW_MESH_VIEW);" IN:

void CSwicthViewFrame::OnShowWindow(BOOL bShow, UINT nStatus) 
{
	CFrameWnd::OnShowWindow(bShow, nStatus);
	SwitchToView(IDW_MESH_VIEW);
}

THE FUNCTION GETS CALLED, BUT WHEN I DEBUG AND SET A BREAK POINT IN OnUpdateViewWindowsMesh() ISN'T GETTING CALLED AND MENU ITEM NOT ENABLING?

PLEASE HELP, THANKS!

the frame that I attatched the menu item to thru a splitter window has no view attatched (is that the reason why the menu item is not enabling?) that is the purpose for the menu item is connecting a view and switching between different views, i figured that if the frame is attatched the menu item would work
