disable MenuItems in CDialog

Hi,

I have a CDialog who has a menu IDR_MAINFRAME.
I want to disable some menu items at the beginning.
I used GetDlgItem(ID_EDIT); to get a CWnd* for the enableWindow-function,
but I get a NULL pointer back (I included also resource.h in the header file)

What's wrong ?

Thanx,
Grit

Did you try EnableMenu function of class CMenu?

Let me know if this help u

Add a WM_UPDATE_COMMAND mesage for your item ID.
In the implementation add this pCMDUI->Enable(FALSE);
Let me know if this helps you.
Best regards,

Look some detalied code

CMenu m_Menu;
m_Menu.LoadMenu( IDR_MAINFRAME );
CMenu* pMenu = m_Menu.GetSubMenu( 0 );
pMenu->EnableMenuItem( ID__EDIT, MF_DISABLED | MF_GRAYED );
