Hi,

I want to enable/disable a menu item and don't understand how to get the handle to the menu or to menu items.

Any help in this matter is appreciated.

Thanks! - Mark Wright

Hi,

It looks like I solved my own problem. Menu items can be controlled through windows.
To disable my menu item I wrot:

   Invoke GetMenu, hWnd ;handle to window with the menu
   Invoke EnableMenuItem, Eax, IDM_WINDOW1_EASYCODE, MF_GRAYED ;the menu item created with menu editor

to enable,

   Invoke GetMenu, hWnd
   Invoke EnableMenuItem, Eax, IDM_WINDOW1_EASYCODE, MF_ENABLED

can be used.

Hope this helps someone else - Mark Wright

Hi and happy new year to everybody!

Effectively, you solved your problem very well. The EnableMenuItem function is the solution.
