Although you can enable and disable a menu item, as in
disable menuItem 1 of menu "myMenu" of grp "MyMenuGrp" of cd 1 of stack
"myStack"
you can't check the disabled property because menuItems don't have one
- this is explained in the docs (via the IDE's Help menu as discussed
in another thread). How then can you check the disabled status of a
menu item?
[My attempts to understand this (i.e. to answer the question "can you
see the left bracket that is apparently placed at the beginning of the
item by the compiler to mark the item as disabled?") have been hampered
by the IDE, which I **think** is preventing me from executing this in
the message box
put Menuitem 1 of menu "File" of group "Main_Menu" of cd "Store" of
stack "Main_Display"
when I try to do so, I get
&New Mainstack
which of course comes from the IDE's own main menu - I guess this may
be a bug, but I will look at it some more before reporting it
properly.]
Anyway how do people generally check the disabled status of menu items?
TIA
