I realize that this is not actually an answer to your question, but.... Why
not populate the menu dynamically and only put things into it that are valid
for the current conditions? It's usually better for program maintenance and
certainly better for the user.
My number one complaint when working on Windows systems -- even more than BSOD
and virii -- is that much software on that platform is sloppy about
engineering out invalid choices. (I absolutely hate being offered a choice
and then being told I was wrong to think it should be functional...or just
having it quietly do nothing.)
