Disabling MenuItems

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi rob,

I don't know exactly your problem :-)
But I have a way to do that sort of things that might interest you:
I  am used to have a "menu template" in a custom property without  
"(" , "!c' and so on.
Each time the menu is called, I use this "ever clean" template and  
add what I need...
I detail this way of doing in a tutorial you will find on my website  
if you need more details.

Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
