I want to disable some controls and want their respective icons to become grey and unpressable, i.e. not responsive.

Neither SetVisible(FALSE) nor SetEnabled(FALSE) seem to do anything at all.

Any suggestions?

BTW, is their any documentation beside the sample code and the help files?

regards, Christian

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore/html/_core_how_to_update_user.2d.interface_objects.asp - http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore/html/_core_how_to_update_user.2d.interface_objects.asp

you must add ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler:

ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_YOURCOMMAND, OnUpdateYourCommand)

void CMainFrame::OnUpdateYourCommand(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
pCmdUI->Enable(FALSE);
}

Hi,

I have the same problem. I would like to remove an item from a menu (though not delete it), and so have tried using SetVisible( FALSE ). However it appears to have no effect.

I cannot use a command handler as I need to do this before the menu is shown, and also my menus are dynamic depending on the user selction, thus do not have fixed Ids.

Thanks,

Bruce.

Hi,

I have overcome this particular problem, so it is no longer an issue for me.

Ta,

Bruce.
