[QUESTION] How changing menu while popped up?

 

I try to change the caption of a menu command while the menu is popped up (background: I should change the caption as soon as the shift key was pressed). I capture the key code with GetAsyncKeyState() in the Update event of the commadbar. As you can see in the picture, the command in the command bar works as expected, but not the command in the menu

 

 

It seems, that the update event wouldn't be fired for popped up menus... Probably there is an other event to try but I doesn't found the right way.

 

Thankfull for any idea!

For testing I simply used the designer sample from CJ and add

 

If GetAsyncKeyState(17 AND &H8000) Then

  Control.Caption = "TEST"

End If

 

to the Update event. I tried also Control.Action.Caption = "TEST", but Action seems not to be supported in the Update event.

 

The command placed on a command bar was changed correctly, als the command in the menu if I press the shift key before clicking EDIT, but if the EDIT menu is still popped up the caption doesn't change.

 

Regards

Fabian
