Menu Set State (API?)

[Scott Turchin]

I want to gray out a menu, but alas we know Menu Set State has an issue with it currently...
And for some reason my SendMessage code doesn't seem to be working, so I want to accomplish this:

Menu Set State g_hMenu, ByCmd %IDM_STOP, %MF_GRAYED


Can someone refresh my memory?

Thanks!

Scott -
Do you execute DrawMenuBar ?
Win32.Hlp :
The DrawMenuBar function redraws the menu bar of the specified window. If the menu bar changes after Windows has created the window, this function must be called to draw the changed menu bar.

Hi Scott,

How about this:

EnableMenuItem g_hMenu,%IDM_STOP,%MF_GRAYED

I was having the same issue and switched to this and it got me going in a snap.

There is an issue with the menu set state, and redrawing it is only for after modification of the main menu I believe...

this is what i was looking for, no wonder I forgot!! hehe...I use it extensively but was lookingfor sendmessage...

EnableMenuItem g_hMenu,%IDM_STOP,%MF_GRAYED


Thanks!!

Scott
