I am not familiar with that library. Anyway if you have the menu handle, then you can surely update it. But I could find a BOOL SetMenuText(UINT uiCmd, LPCTSTR szText); in the documentation... Did you try that?

You can add a UI handler for the menu item
ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UIand do something likevoid CYourClass::OnUpdateYourMenuItem(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
pCmdUI->SetText("New Menu Text");

}Wanted to say, thanks for posting this. I had been scratching my head trying to figure out how to do this and was making it a far more difficult chore than it needed to be. This was the answer, so simple that I hadn't even considered it. worked perfectly by the way.
