Disabled menuItems on Windows?

I have a standalone developed on Mac that works fine on Mac. It contains a a pullDown button, with certain menuItems disabled, using the standard "(" prepended.

But in the Windows standalone, no items are disabled, rather, the "(" is simply displayed:

Item 1
(Item2 -- disabled on Mac, but "(Item 2" appears on PC
Item 3

Anyone?

Is that a pulldown menu or an option menu? Items can be disabled on all three desktop platforms in pulldown menus, but the HIGs for Windows and Gnome do not support disabled items in option controls.

Richard.

It was indeed an option menu. I saw that earlier, changed it but forgot to re-post.

Thanks for the reply.
