Disabling popup menu item

Hi,

I have a popup menu item on a menu that I populate with various items at
run-time (dependant on user choices). It all works nicely.

However, the update handlers are not working. I have the following code:

// In the message map
ON_UPDATE_COMMA ND_UI_RANGE(WM_ USER_MYPOPUP, WM_USER_MYPOPUP +
WM_USER_NUM_MYP OPUP -1, OnUpdateMyPopup )

// Lower down in he class
void CMyView::OnUpda teMyPopup(CCmdU I* pCmdUI)
{
if (pCmdUI != NULL)
{
// Trying to disable to the first entry in the list
if ((pCmdUI->m_nID - WM_USER_MYPOPUP ) == 0)
{
// We actually get in here...
pCmdUI->Enable(FALSE ); // This seems to have no effect,
so I try...
pCmdUI->m_pMenu->EnableMenuItem (0, MF_BYPOSITION | MF_GRAYED |
MF_DISABLED);
// ...but it doesn't work either!
}
}
}

Now when I load the application, my menu item is *not* visually disable, but
when you click it, it correctly does nothing. Why is it not visually
disabled? I also need to set a check against the last selected option, but
this is also not working.

Thanks in advance,
Alain

I use to get popup events when I checked out the menu coding. That was a while ago. Something I did in the interim must have suppressed those events because I just noticed I don't get them any more. What could I do that will cause menu item Popup events not to be raised? I've been looking but really don't know where to look anymore. Second question. A control has a context menu.

I am writing an application that requires the a portion of the main menu to be dynamic. The menu has file, panels, view files and help across the top.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
