We want to hide submenu item in our main CExtMenuControlBar.

if we override the function _UpdateMenuBar, we can hide a entire header, but we need sometimes to hide an subitem.

We don’t want to delete some items

how to do this ?

does we must override the g_nMsgPopupDrawItem or g_nMsgPrepareMenu ?

thanks for your help.

Thanks for you answer but I don’t want to disable a menu item.

We want to hide an item. If I ovveride the g_nMsgPopupDrawIt, I have an empty row.

I think I must modify the extpopupmenuwnd or perhaps use a custom extpopupmenuwnd but is it possible with the CExtMenuControlBar ?

Here is what I would suggest.

Look at "CMenu::EnableMenuItem" in MSDN, The example toward the end of the doc is the code you need.

Then look at CExtMenuControlBar::GetMenu in http://www.profcpp.com/prof-uis-help/classes/CExtMenuControlBar_GetMenu.php.

This will give you the menu pointer you need.

Hope this helps.
