It looks like I was able to solve my issue.

I removed the IsIdleMessage override, and simply checked the CCmdUI object from Update event to check if there is a valid m_pMenu object.

Hello,

I am having an issue with my application where a OnUpdate event is getting fired constantly for a menu item.

I found this post:  https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6090

...which help explains my issue.

I did override the CWinApp::IsIdleMessage method like such:

BOOL CMyApp::IsIdleMessage(MSG *pMsg)
{
   return FALSE;
}

This has solved the issue of the menu Update event from continually firing.  However, I now have an issue where my ToolBar items are not getting refreshed properly.  Whenever I click a ToolBar item, the button stays painted the click background color of the button, and not getting set back to the normal background color of the ToolBar items.

Is there some logic I need to add to IsIdleMessage that will handle this, and are there other messages that I should be processing?

Thanks in advance.
