menu and visible

[vlitim]

I keep getting this error when trying to set a submenu's visible property


can't set visible property from a parent menu


I can't figure out what I am doing wrong!

I think that means you are setting a menu property when I menu it is a child of is already set to something else,

Can't replicate your error message - you're not using an MDI interface are you?

If no MDI interface the following should solve the problem

you will need to create the sub-menu option(s) as a part of a control array: for example:

assuming a sub-menu with three options (copy,cut & paste)

set the properties of the first one as:
Caption Copy
Name mnuClipboard
Index 0

set the properties of the second one as:
Caption Cut
Name mnuClipboard
Index 1

set the properties of the third one as:
Caption Paste
Name mnuClipboard
Index 2

now you can write code such as

mnuClipBoard(2).visible = false 'hide paste menu option
