Problem re-enabling menu item

[johndevlon]

Hi,
Can someone please help me. I've got a strang problem in Visual Studio
2005

I've created a windows application, using an MDI form and top menu.
When a menu item is clicked, a new instance of a form appeirs.

At the same time, i'm disabling the menu item to prevent opening it
again.

I've placed some code in the new form, so when it is closed, it should
re-enable the menu item in the main MDI-form.

Unfortunately, the menu-item will not re-enable.

1) "I've placed some code", yes great, how is anyone meant to work out what
is wrong if you keep that code secret?
2) This group is for VB6 and earlier, try asking in a newsgroup for .NET

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.upgrade

Hi,

I'm truely sorry for the mistake ...

The code I'm using in the main form for opening the new for and
disabling the menu item ...


ViewMovieToolStripMenuItem.Enabled = False

Dim objForm As dataform
objForm = New dataform
objForm.MdiParent = Me

objForm.Show()


The code I'm using in the new form ...


Private Sub dataform_FormClosed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.FormClosedEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosed

frmMain.ViewMovieToolStripMenuItem.Enabled = True

End Sub

Many thanx

John
