Title: Enabled Menu Items Still Staying Grayed?
Post by: Noble D. Bell on December 30, 2007, 12:34:35 PM

I am using the following line of code to enable/disable menu items:

To Disable:


EnableMenuItem (HWND_FRMMAIN_TOPMENU, IDC_FRMMAIN_MNUEDIT, %MF_BYCOMMAND Or %MF_DISABLED Or %MF_GRAYED)

To Enable:

Code Select


EnableMenuItem (HWND_FRMMAIN_TOPMENU, IDC_FRMMAIN_MNUEDIT, %MF_BYCOMMAND Or %MF_ENABLED)

Disabling seems to work just fine. But, after I enable the menu it still stays "grayed" until I click on the item with my mouse pointer then it starts working. Is there some sort of refresh or repaint function that I need to call?

Hi Noble,

Immediately after enabling or disabling, execute the following code:

Code Select


DrawMenuBar HWND_FRMMAIN

Yup. That did the trick. Thanks.
