Making a menu item inactive

How can I with code make a menu Item inactive at any time????
Thanks

When a menu is about to be displayed by your application, your mainframe class will receive a WM_INITMENUPOPUP message.

Override this function and you can then call EnableMenuItem(ID_OF_ITEM, MF_DISABLED) on the Cmenu* pointer given you. Note, I am quoting this from memory, so my details might not be exactly correct...

Here u go. Use the MF_GRAYED to disable, and the MF_ENABLED to enable it.


HMENU thisMenu = GetMenu(hwnd);

// This specifies the 3rd pop-up menu
HMENU thisSubMenu = GetSubMenu(thisMenu,2);
bool bReturn;

// IDM_MENUITEM is the menu item to disable
bReturn = EnableMenuItem(thisSubMenu, IDM_MENUITEM, MF_GRAYED);




Hope this helps.
