 | Hi everybody,
I'm trying to enable / disable a menu item which has a submenu. The 4 menu
items of the submenu will be disabled quiet right, but the item of the main
menu remains enabled.
Here's the code section
_app.main.pop_GrArc1.m_index.r_nr.enabled = false // subitem
_app.main.pop_GrArc1.m_index.r_date.enabled = false // subitem
_app.main.pop_GrArc1.m_index.r_art.enabled = false // subitem
_app.main.pop_GrArc1.m_index.r_sum.enabled = false // subitem
_app.main.pop_GrArc1.m_index.enabled = false
Any ideas why this happens?
Thanks for helping, Heinz

| Unfortunately, in order to disable a menu item with submenu-items on a popup
menu, you have to "release" the submenu items first, then set enable=false
on the menu item. I complained about this some three years ago, but nothing
has changed. So, I believe your only solution is this type of workaround.
I use the "ROOT_onInitMenu" event to check for conditions and release the
submenu-items as needed.

Thank you for your help. I thought I was still doing wrong. I will try your
workaround, it sounds good.
Thanks once more, Heinz

| Heinz,
as far as I know, this is Windows standard behaviour. I've run into this
myself and have not found a way around it.

I had found the thread fom Frank Goris from 05.01.05 which was about the
same problem, but not with popups. Here Bowen Moursund wrote ...
If a menu item contains a submenu, all of the submenu's items must be
disabled first.
So I thought this would apply to popups as well. I've not seen other popups
behaving this way, unfortunately I have no example to check on ...
Thanks, anyway
Heinz
