Solution 2

Start with the Menu[^] class, and use the Enabled property of individual MenuItems[^] as required.

The easiest way is to handle the ToolMenuStripItem DropDownOpening event. The sender parameter tells you which menu is opening:

C#

private void editToolStripMenuItem_DropDownOpening( object sender, EventArgs e )
    {
    ToolStripMenuItem tsmi = sender as ToolStripMenuItem;
    tsmi.DropDownItems[0].Enabled = false;
    }

Would disable the first item of which ever menu is opened.
