Hi,

normally yoy call EnableCmd and DisableCmd in the UpdateMenus method. This method is called when
the user clicks in the menu bar and handles all menu enabling (in general all menus are disabled
before UpdateMenus is called). The CApplication.UpdateMenus and CDocument.UpdateMenus (sorry I
am a Pascal fan) manage the correct settings for New, Open, Close, Save, etc. (standard items),
but you have to manage your own items by yourself by overriding UpdateMenus in your MyDoc class
(remember to call inherited UpdateMenus).

Hope this helps

A little more information is needed here. Does the menu itself appear,
but this item remains disabled (ie, does this menu appear in the MBAR
resource)? Have you put a stop in MyApp->updatemenus to see that the
line is executed? Maybe the document does not appear in the chain of
command. Or perhaps something earlier in the chain (eg a pane->updatemenus
) does not call inherited? A little more info and we'll track it down.

I know how you feel, I am having great problems with bugs that make no
sense now that I am using TCL 1.1.2, which I didn't have with the first
version.
