Context Menu How to Hide a menu option

[MacScript]

HI there, I was wondering if there is a way to hide a menu option that is part of a context menu. For instance when you right click on the body of this gui and set Readonly = Yes. Then I want the COntext Menu for New to be Hidden (Not disabled/greyed out). Is there any way to do this?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

    GUICreate("My GUI Context Menu", 300, 200)

    Local $idContextmenu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu()
    Global $CtxMenuTrans = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Read Only", $idContextmenu)   ;-45a-
    Global $CtxMenuNo = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("No", $CtxMenuTrans, -1, 1)   ;-49b-
    Global $CtxMenuYes = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Yes", $CtxMenuTrans, -1, 1) ;-49b-
    GUICtrlSetState($CtxMenuNo, $GUI_CHECKED)   ;-49b-
    Local $idNewsubmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("new", $idContextmenu)
    Local $idNewsubmenuText = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("text", $idNewsubmenu)
    Local $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 100, 100, 70, 20)
    Local $idButtoncontext = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($idButton)
    Local $idMenuAbout = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("About button", $idButtoncontext)
    Local $idMenuOpen = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Open", $idContextmenu)
    Local $idMenuSave = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Save", $idContextmenu)
    GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("", $idContextmenu) ; separator
    Local $idMenuInfo = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Info", $idContextmenu)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    ; Loop until the user exits.

Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions that are provided

This will hide the control that you pass to it (I passed the new context menu per your question):

GUICtrlSetState($idNewsubmenu, 32)

Here is the helpfile link

EDIT: you would add this to your case statement that when pressed; you want it to do this ^

Seeker ->  Guictrlstate will not work on contextmenu as can be seen by the statement in the link you provided -> "State of a "contextmenu" control cannot be changed.".

Thanks for your suggestion but need a different one.

[MikahS]

Understood, should have looked ><, I will keep looking

[MikahS]

There is no way to change the state; the only thing that can be done is to actually delete them and then re-add them.

[MikahS]

This will essentially 'hide' it by deleting it. If you need to re-add it then you'll need to create it again.

GUICtrlDelete($idNewsubmenu)
