hi Gert-Jan,
unfortunately MenuHideItem fails if it is called in frmOpenEvent
I also tried FrmSetMenu followed by MenuHideItem in frmOpenEvent without
success.
Something that might give a clue is that in menuOpenEvent,
eventP->data.menuOpen.menuRscID is always zero whereas the manual says it
should be the Resource ID of the menu.
Has anyone ever got MenuHideItem to work?
regards,
Eamon

Hi Eamon,
I was wondering whether PalmOS allows you to do this so late. Instead of
doing this on a menuOpenEvent, can you try doing it in the frmOpenEvent of
the underlying form? Or possibly even earlier than that?
Maybe the OS doesn't like you changing the menus when the corresponding
form is already active.
I once tried change a form's menu bar in the form's frmOpenEvent, and that
didn't work well either. Had to do it before the FrmSetActiveForm().
Just guessing,
Gert-Jan
