ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI and CDialog's

[Sprudling]

I have an MFC dialog based app, and ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI just doesn't work. For some reason ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI is sent when I actually choose the menu-option (Rather when the menu drops down). After asking around and searching the net it seems like this is a known problem, but I haven't been able to find any good info on why and/or how to make it work. Is there someone here who can? Sprudling ;)

Hi, For your first question, Suppose at run time you want to change(enable/disable,show/hide) the menuitems, then this function is usefull. Second, It works quite similar to other functions. You just have to add this function and write ur logic.

One way to do this is to loop through all items once the popup menu is drop down and call CCmdUI::DoUpdate for all the child sub-menu. You will have to catch WM_MENUSELECT and loop through the sub-menu. Good luck! Last Article: Client/Server Socket class
