Oscar,

>Am I getting too complicated here. And probably missing a place in the documentatio that says how to disable a menu bar into the Shortcut?

Here's the information on dimming menu items in CShortCutMenu from the Mere Mortals Developer's Guide:

3. In the ShortCutDefine( ) method, add calls to the AddMenuItem() method for each menu item in the shortcut menu. Set parameter 1 to the menu text and set parameter 2 to the command that is run when the menu item is selected. For example:

This.AddMenuItem('New', 'ThisForm.New()')
This.AddMenuItem('Delete', 'ThisForm.Delete()')

You can specify a particular menu item to be dimmed by prefixing the menu text with a backslash "\" character. Here’s an example:

lcPrefix = IIF(ThisForm.nSelected = 0, '\', '')
This.AddMenuItem(lcPrefix + 'Delete', 'ThisForm.Delete()')

Regards,
