Thread: Win32 - Can't enable menu in runtime

Hi again,

I changed a menu's propriety "Grayed" to True, and now the menu is unclickable. I wanted to enable it in runtime if a specific login is entered.

I read some tutorials and articles, but I can't make the ModifyMenu() funtion work.

Code:

BOOL WINAPI ModifyMenu(HMENU hMnu, UINT uPosition, UINT uFlags, UINT_PTR uIDNewItem, LPCTSTR lpNewItem );

I have the following code till now:

Code:

HMENU hMenu;  //Handle to the menu

hMenu = GetMenu(hWnd);  //getting handle to menu

ModifyMenu(hMenu,IDR_ADMIN_CRIA_USER,MF_BYCOMMAND | MF_ENABLED,IDR_ADMIN_CRIA_USER,NULL);

//IDR_ADMIN_CRIA_USER  <- Menu Item ID, the one I want to enable.

This is done all after the window is created and configured. It's done in the WinProc() funtion.

I don't know what to put in the last variable of the function so I've been just putting a NULL in it.

To conclude, the proprieties I tried, were Greyed: True and Enabled: False. I can't reverse any of them with the code above.

Can ayone give me some hints about how to work this function?

Thanks in advance,

keyboarder

Well I solved it using:

Code:

EnableMenuItem(hMenu, IDR_ADMIN_CRIA_USER, MF_BYCOMMAND );

Sorry for the posting and answeing. I have been at this since yesterday, and only when I posted I found this other funcion.
