Is there a way (GadgetX.dll or VDSUG.dll?) to disable an item in a popup menu?

Like this (but with 'menu disable' replaced with an API message or defined command):
Code:
  dialog popup,&Add New|-|D&elete All|-|Information|About
  if @greater(@count(Table1),0)
    # Table is empty
    menu disable,Delete All
  end


So it appears as:
------------
Add New
------------
Delete All
------------

Information
About

------------

Currently I use conditional statements to determine which menu items to include in popup menus:
Code:
  if @equal(1,@selected(Table1))
    # Single item selected
    dialog popup,&Run|-|&Add|-|Re&name|-|&Delete|D&elete All
  elsif @greater(@selected(Table1),1)
    # Multiple items selected
    dialog popup,&Add|-|&Delete Selected|D&elete All
  else
    # No items selected
    if @greater(@count(Table1),0)
      # Table has at least one item
      dialog popup,&Add|-|D&elete All
    else
      # Table empty
      dialog popup,&Add
    end
  end


But I'd prefer if all menu items were always shown, but with unusable items disabled, so the user would know what all the possible menu items are each time the menu is shown.

Hi Dave Very Happy :

There would be magnificent the option on that you comment. I suppose that a more professional option would be to use vdspopup.dll by PGWARE. But, if you want domestic recipe for this try to use my script popmenu.

Version 1.1 allows to disable any options.

download link:

Dave,
While it is possible to do this with GadgetX. I think you would like using the vdspopup.dll from PGWARE since it would not require as much work as it would with GadgetX.

With GadgetX you would have to completely create the menu with API functions.
