Menu Options

[cueclub]

Can you change the Font, or color of a Menu Item?

$Menu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&Menu")
    $MenuItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Test Menu Item", $Menu)

In the above example, the menu item would be assigned, And after it was assigned it would be given a color or shown in italic.

Not sure exactly how to do it, And I may have missed it searching the forums.

Any help will be appreciated.

GUICtrlSetFont(-1, "", 2)

Adding that should work.

ok I was going to try that But not sure if it would work like that.

I will give it a try and re-post if there is a problem. Thanks

[cueclub]

yup that didnt seem to work. Any other Ideas?

Or who would I go about disabling the item once it has happened, So it can no longer be pressed.

Maybe that would be a better way to go.

Thanks in advance

Okay I ran into a problem with the #include <guimenu.au3>

I keep getting this error

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\GUIMenu.au3 (556) : ==> Variable used without being declared.:

If $fByPos Then $iByPos = BitOR($iByPos, $MF_BYPOSITION)

If $fByPos Then $iByPos = BitOR($iByPos, ^ ERROR

->13:34:07 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:1

And All I am trying to do is add this

$Menu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&Menu")
    $MenuItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Test Menu Item", $Menu)
_GUICtrlMenu_enableMenuItem($menu, $menuitem, $c1 = 1, $c1a > 0)

Perhaps I have it written wrong.

i don't know but did you try just declaring it somewhere in your script?

[cueclub]

When I remove the #include, I get an undefined function. Starting to think this thing doesnt like me too well. lol

[jebus495]

Oh well, look at this.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
$Form1_1 = GUICreate("Form1", 634, 448, 192, 124)
$MenuItem1 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&MenuItem1")
$MenuItem2 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("MenuItem2", $MenuItem1)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

All you really need is GUICtrlSetStae($MenuItem, 128) or GUICtrlSetStae($MenuItem, $GUI_DISABLE) if you have #included GUIconstantsEx.au3
