How to change the text of a menu item?

[CatchFish]

I need to change the text of a menu item dynamically. But I can't do it with GUICtrlSetData(). [v3.1.1.80]

It's possible to change the text by deleting and rebuilding the menu item. But the problem is I need to write much more code to sort the menu items. Is it a better idea changing it directly with GUICtrlSendMsg()? Can anybody show me the code?

Thanks a lot, Larry. I'll check it.

I still wonder if the GUI menu created by GUICtrlCreateMenuItem() can be handled in the same way...

@Catchfish: where do you have the problem?

Here it works normally (XPSP2):

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Test")

$menu = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("&File")
$item = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Open",$menu)

$button = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Check",50,130,70,20)

GUISetState ()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $button
            GUICtrlSetData($menu, "&Files")
            GUICtrlSetData($item, "Openup")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

GUIDelete()

Exit

Well, I have to recognize that your code works in v3.1.1.81...But I was scripting with v3.1.1.80 when I posted that topic. Same problem in v3.1.1 public release.

Most important, everything's okay now...with the help of the new beta release.

Thanks, Holger.
