You probably did the loading of the menu from resources somewhere before.
You said you are using MFC, so you will have a variable of type CMenu somewhere, which represents your IDR_MENU1, right?
Like this:

...
CMenu menuOne;
menuOne.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU1);
...

Then you would write:

BOOL e = ::EnableMenuItem( menuOne.m_hmenu, ID_EXTRAS_SERVICE, MF_GRAYED);

And then you can see in the MSDN-entry for EnableMenuItem, that the 3rd parameter in your code is not correct:

MSDN: "This parameter must be a combination of either MF_BYCOMMAND or MF_BYPOSITION and MF_ENABLED, MF_DISABLED, or MF_GRAYED"

So, you have to add either MF_BYCOMMAND or MF_BYPOSITION to it.

And adding a line

BOOL e = ::EnableMenuItem(menu, /*item and flag parameter here*/)

at the bottom does not work?
Does it compile?
Your HMENU is valid?
You corrected the flags like MSDN shows?

I don't know if this is what you want, it is a cut/paste from one of my progs but try:-

CWnd* pMain = AfxGetMainWnd();

// Get the main window's menu
CMenu* pMenu = pMain->GetMenu();
CMenu* pSubMenu = NULL;

// Now get a handle to the pop up menu, the 1st one e.g. File
pSubMenu = pMenu->GetSubMenu(0);
pSubMenu->EnableMenuItem(ID_FILE_TRANSFER, MF_GRAYED);

I have a parent dialog and some child dialogs in it. The parent dialog have bitmap background. So I want its child dialogs to be transparent? How can I do that? (Same as PropertySheet with Wizard Mode and PSH_WATERMAKE flags)

(I have only return TRUE on OnEraseBkgnd(), the child dialogs has been transparent, but static controls on child dialog are still not transparent... Cry | :((

)

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for your help. But the background of these static controls (on child dialg) is different from the background of the parent dialog because I has used a bitmap background, not a solid background.

Don't think it's what your after, but if you create a new class (well, a few really) from the excel.exe (Excel 2002) type library using the class wizard, it does generate a 'Protection' class (as well as 200+ others). You might find what your after in there, or one of the other generated classes)

I'm struggling to use the classes generated at the moment, if I come across anything I think might help you I'll post it here.

The tutorials of Michael Dunn are to add a small View in the popup menu.

I want to add a small view on the left of the file list if you select web view
mode in the windows file explorer.

Hi,
I want to catch WM_SETFONT messages in a CEdit control.

Unfortunately the class wizard doesn't offer me this message. Is there any reason? If not, how does my handler look like? hm there is no default handler CEdit::OnSetFont(). please help.

If you right-click your class and select "Add window message handler" and from there change the type of filtering in the bottom right to "Window", I think you will have access to the option you need.
I can't check as class wizard is bust on my PC at the moment.

How can I specify the size of a CView when it is created?

<br />
void COragomy_IIView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)<br />
{<br />
	COragomy_IIDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();<br />
	ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);<br />
<br />
	CRect rect = new CRect( 0, 0, 320, 200 );<br />
	pDoc->m_clientRect = rect;<br />

That doesn't seem to work. Confused | :confused:
