I have some option buttons that enable/disable certain menuitems using
this syntax:
set the enabled of menuitem blah of me to false
This puts the left-parentheses next to the item, and on OS X it works
fine. On Windows XP, the menu item is not dimmed, it remains selectable,
and the left
I think it's a ui thing. Windows does not provide or define for disabled menu
items. I think.

Ok, this is really dumb, but does it make any difference if you script enable
menuItem xyz... instead of set the enabled of... ?

If it's dumb, then so am I because I tried it. No difference.

I thought of that, can anyone else verify? It seems kind of stupid, if
it's true. Would it only be XP or is it all versions of Windows?

I had this same problem a couple of weeks ago. I had to resort to actually
removing the disabled items from the menu (by script) and replacing them when
when they needed to be enabled.

Just tried Win 7 (LC 5.5.3) and it appears to have exactly the same issue.
I tried this for a workaround, it's a bit drastic removing the choice, but it
works:
## Store the menu items in a custom property uText ##
on menuPick pItemName
lock screen -- Avoids

Thanks for the advice everyone, it looks like removing unnecessary menu
items is what I need to do. I'm a Mac girl, I should get out more.
