menuitem is an object ??

[Agnes]

dim c as controls
for each c in me.controls
messagebox.show(c.name)
next c

I found that the menu time didn't show up ?? It didn't belongs to the
control in the form ???
I need to Me.mnuXXX.Enabled = false during run-time
Anyone know how can do that ??

You do something like:
For each Item As MenuItem in Me.Menu.MenuItemCollection
If <condition> Then
Item.Enabled = False
End If
Next Item

hope this helps..

Agnes,
As Imran suggests.

MenuItem is an object, however it is NOT a control.

Your form has both a Menu property that is the main menu, and a ContextMenu
(inherited from Control) that is used for context menus.

You need to use the MenuItems collection of the respective menu.

I need to Me.mnuXXX.Enabled = false during run-time
Anyone know how can do that ??

Have you tried?

Me.mnuXXX.Enabled = False

Or are you wanting to dynamically set a menu.Enabled to false based on a
string? Remember MenuItems don't have names exposed at runtime (they are
compile time only).

Hope this helps
Jay

For each Item As MenuItem in Me.Menu.MenuItemCollection

'...in Me.Menu.MenuItems'.

Thanks for all reply.
Menuitems don't have a name at runtime?! My god. It is a must that I need to
disable some menuitem during run-time. My approach is "My application got
one menu bar , every user got its security tables, he/she got different
permission in each forms. e.g Invoicing , user A allows to use invoice, but
not user B'

As userB Login the application, i need to disable the 'Invoice menu' .
HOWEVER, I can't use the menuitem.text becauese the menu item will be
displayed in GB or B5, or English.
May be I need to change my security design....

As suggested in other posts use a HashTable. You can use the MenuTagger code
on my site to give a Tag property to all menuitems, but to be honest, it's
just as easy to use a HashTable directly.
