I used to be able to get the CFrameWnd's menu, and change one menu item text from "ABC" to "XYX" as follows

CMenu* pMenu = GetMenu();
if (...)
   pMenu->ModifyMenu(ID_APP_ABOUT, MF_BYCOMMAND, ID_APP_ABOUT, "&About ABC...");
else    // Rename menu item "About ABC..." to "&About XYZ...".
    pMenu->ModifyMenu(ID_APP_ABOUT, MF_BYCOMMAND, ID_APP_ABOUT, "&About XYZ...");

How should I do using CXTPCommandBars?

Thanks,

Hi,

You need to handle it on ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI message for the particlar menu item

CCmdUI *pCmdUI will come in this message as argument

set the text using pCmdUI->SetText(CString);
