Disabling item in MENUBAR

[Killer3]

Hi, CMenu* pMenu = GetMenu(); ASSERT (pMenu != NULL); for(int i=0;i< (int)pMenu->GetMenuItemCount();i++) { CMenu* pActionMenu = pMenu->GetSubMenu(i); ASSERT (pActionMenu != NULL); int nMenuItemCount = pActionMenu->GetMenuItemCount(); int nTemp = nMenuItemCount-1 ; nMenuItemCount=nMenuItemCount-1; while (nMenuItemCount >= 0) { if(!(i==0 && nMenuItemCount==nTemp)) { pActionMenu->RemoveMenu(nMenuItemCount, MF_BYPOSITION); //pActionMenu->EnableMenuItem( pActionMenu->GetMenuItemID (nMenuItemCount) ,MF_BYCOMMAND|MF_DISABLED); } nMenuItemCount=nMenuItemCount-1; } } Requirement : Disabling all menu items I have used the above code snippet to removing Menu items in my application. But when i attempt to use EnableMenuItem for disabling than removing it fails. Can any one show some light on this? for thendral

RemoveMenu: Deletes a menu item with an associated pop-up menu from the menu. Try using same function i.e EnableMenuItem for enabling & diabling the menu items. Regards, Ashok.

Use ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI.

I can use ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI if i need to disable a single menu item My requirement is to disable all menus in a single shot,How can this be done. Thanks for thendral

Hi, I think that the only solutions is to disable each item of your menu. There isn't other way to make this. Sorry and good coding!

You can use ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI_RANGE. There are certain limitations too.
