trying to add menu to dialog based app

Lubo Morha #1 / 4	trying to add menu to dialog based app Hello, Would someone please help me with the following: I have added menu to dialog based application, but I need to be able to enable/disable/SetCheck, etc. some of the menu items during the program's execution. void CKitDlg::OnUpdateConfigurationSerial(CCmdUI* pCmdUI) { // TODO: Add your command update UI handler code here pCmdUI->SetCheck(TRUE); Quote: } I got as far as pCmdUI->SetCheck(TRUE); being called but using de{filter} it goes to: \Mfc\Src\Wincore.cpp void CTestCmdUI::SetCheck(int) { // do nothing -- just want to know about calls to Enable Quote: } What is the chronological order of things to do to get this working from scratch? I probably made some incorrect assumptions/steps. Thanks, Lubo

No you were doing fine, you just can't get there from here :-). The code which implements the update command UI mechanism is in CFrameWnd, but dialogs inherit from CWnd, not CFrameWnd, so you don't get that code. Bummer. Instead, try handling WM_INITMENUPOPUP and rolling your own update code. I hear some people have had good luck just nicking the code from CFrameWnd.
