I have inserted a menu in a dialog box, added some ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI in the dialogbox messagemap, wrote the associated CCmdUI handlers, so that some menu items are disabled/enabled depending of the application state.<br />
My CCmdUI handlers are not called, the result is that all menu items stay enabled.<br />
I known that in an standard document/view application, the mainframe calls these CCmdUI handlers during idle time. How to make it work in a dialogbox application ?<br />
