Disable/Enable a ContextMenu

[Nova 0]

Why dosent the following work ?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt("GuiOnEventMode", 1) 

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

$contextmenu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu ()

$button = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK",100,100,70,20)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($button, "Contextmenu_disable")

$buttoncontext = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($button)
$buttonitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("About button",$buttoncontext)


GUISetState ()

Func Contextmenu_disable()
    GUICtrlSetState ( $contextmenu, $Gui_Disable)
EndFunc

While 1
   sleep (10)
WEnd

Im trying to make it so that when the button is pressed the context menu no longer appears.

Contextmenu cannot have state change just delete and recreate if needed.

From help file GUICtrlDelete

This function does not currently work on context menu controls.

I really need to be able to hide/show a context menu, is there any change autoit could be edited to allow this ?

I use this method alot with other ctrls, I create them at the start of my script and hide them, then later on unhide them from within functions.

If you cant understand my need im sure I can write you a script to explain it better.

I can really understand your need.

But ContextMenu are design in a such a way (Holger can confirm) that only GuiCtrlDetelete can be use to have a correct handling.

The best can be you design a fonction with create the contextmenu you can recall when you want to have it back.

Sorry for not having a more simpler solution to your problem

Just another question: What's this "GUICreate" that you always says in forum? I haven't found anything about it on AutoIT3 documentation.
