Disable Menu Items
-
Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me disable a menu option. Thank you for your help.
If you're using MFC, look up EnableMenuItem in the CMenu class documentation. If you're not using MFC, just look up EnableMenuItem.

Hi Jason, I don't have MSDN installed on this computer, I only remember off the top of my head its something like : EnableMenuItem((i think its the menuID?), Flags); Can you or someone shed some light to get this done with MFC? Thank you for your help!

BOOL EnableMenuItem( HMENU hMenu, // handle to menu UINT uIDEnableItem, // menu item to update UINT uEnable // options ); or // MFC CMenu UINT EnableMenuItem( UINT nIDEnableItem, UINT nEnable );

I have only been programming for a month, so please be patient. right now i am using the code i found on the msdn.microsoft.com site
CMenu* mmenu = GetMenu(); CMenu* submenu = mmenu->GetSubMenu(0); submenu->EnableMenuItem(ID_FILE_NEW, MF_BYCOMMAND | MF_DISABLED | MF_GRAYED);I get the error that GetMenu doesn't take 0 parameters? Can someone tell me whats wrong. I used similar code if not the same, to get a couple other menu options checked/unchecked and it worked fine. Don't understand why it doesn't work. Oh yeah, I have no idea why msdn is not installed on this computer? its not my own. -
