Hi,

Can any one point me in the right direction on how to hide a menu item?

Ive created a menu with the menubuilder, and can enable and disable items in that menu, but I have an instance where I want to remove some items rather than have them just disabled / greyed out. Is this possible.

As an example. in the Help menu I have a menu item 'Buy a License'. Id like this to disappear in the registered version completely, and not just be greyed out.

Probably something simple Im just missing!

Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy,

unfortunately you cannot do this directly but need to manipulate: the text of btn "your menu here"
Yes, menus are simple buttons

Try this:
...
put the text of btn "your menu here" into tMenu
filter tMenu without ("Buy a License" & "*")
## * in case you also have some shortcuts defined here like /B or something AFTER the name of the menuitem
set the text of btn "your menu here" to tMenu
...


Best

Klaus

Thanks Klaus!
