disable menuitem during run-time

How can I do that , I want to write a method with the parameter (the
meunitem's name) [MuST be name]
As I pass the parameter, the Menu's meunitem will be disable.

Thanks

Menu items don't have a name. All you can do is storing (name,
'MenuItem') pairs in a 'Hashtable' and use the hashtable to loopup a
menu item by its name.

Agnes,

A hastable is a collection class that holds a key and one item per row,
therefore you can use it the same as a datatable and a dataview, however for
this purpose the hashtable is more the one to take.

I hope this helps

'System.Collections.Hashtable' can be used to store (key, value) pairs.
So that's an appropriate way to access menu items by their name by
using the name as key and the reference to the menu item as value.
