ParameterTypeDescription

processIntegerProces reference number

This command is not thread-safe, it cannot be used in preemptive code.

Description

The ENABLE MENU ITEM command enables the menu item whose menu number or reference is passed in menu and whose item number is passed in menuItem. You can pass -1 in menuItem in order to designate the last item added to the menu.

If the menuItem parameter designates a hierarchical submenu, all the items of this menu and any submenus are enabled. This command also works with a menu bar created using the Create menu command and installed with the SET MENU BAR command.

If you omit the process parameter, ENABLE MENU ITEM applies to the menu bar for the current process. Otherwise, ENABLE MENU ITEM applies to the menu bar for the process whose reference number is passed in process.

Note: If you pass a MenuRef in menu, the process parameter serves no purpose and will be ignored.

Tip: To enable/disable all items of a menu at once, pass 0 (zero) in menuItem.
