menuitem is an object ??

[Agnes]

dim c as controls
for each c in me.controls
messagebox.show(c.name)
next c

I found that the menu time didn't show up ?? It didn't belongs to the
control in the form ???
I need to Me.mnuXXX.Enabled = false during run-time
Anyone know how can do that ??

[Imran Koradia]

You do something like:
For each Item As MenuItem in Me.Menu.MenuItemCollection
If <condition> Then
Item.Enabled = False
End If
Next Item

hope this helps..

Agnes,
As Imran suggests.

MenuItem is an object, however it is NOT a control.

Your form has both a Menu property that is the main menu, and a ContextMenu
(inherited from Control) that is used for context menus.

You need to use the MenuItems collection of the respective menu.

I need to Me.mnuXXX.Enabled = false during run-time
Anyone know how can do that ??
Have you tried?

Me.mnuXXX.Enabled = False

Or are you wanting to dynamically set a menu.Enabled to false based on a
string? Remember MenuItems don't have names exposed at runtime (they are
compile time only).

Hope this helps

Thanks for all reply.
Menuitems don't have a name at runtime?! My god. It is a must that I need to
disable some menuitem during run-time. My approach is "My application got
one menu bar , every user got its security tables, he/she got different
permission in each forms. e.g Invoicing , user A allows to use invoice, but
not user B'

As userB Login the application, i need to disable the 'Invoice menu' .
HOWEVER, I can't use the menuitem.text becauese the menu item will be
displayed in GB or B5, or English.
May be I need to change my security design....

As suggested in other posts use a HashTable. You can use the MenuTagger code
on my site to give a Tag property to all menuitems, but to be honest, it's
just as easy to use a HashTable directly.
