vikramkarthik wrote: i tried with TRACE command... Why in the world would you think that TRACE() would be used for updating a combobox? Since you are using MFC, use ClassWizard (Ctrl+W) to assign a CComboBox member variable to the control. When you are ready to update the control, use CComboBox::AddString() or CComboBox::InsertString().

What is a menu window? "Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears." Chris Maunder

actually i want to call a menu window from one to another.. thanks a lot from u for my queries..

Whats the result if you run this code? CMenu* m_MainMenu= GetMenu(); CMenu* m_Submenu = m_MainMenu->GetSubMenu(0); m_Submenu->EnableMenuItem(ID_TEST, MF_BYCOMMAND | MF_DISABLED ); WhiteSky

This is the best way: BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CYourFrame, CMainFrame) ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_MENU_ITEM_1, OnUpdateMenuItem1) END_MESSAGE_MAP() //******************************************************************************************* void CYourFrame::OnUpdateMenuItem1(CCmdUI *pCmdUI) { pCmdUI->Enable([TRUE or FALSE here depending on condition]); } Hope it helps http://xwega.com

For enable or disable see CMenu::EnableMenuItem . vikramkarthik wrote: insert a dialog box in the menus :confused: WhiteSky
