enable / disable menu items with function

Martin Walter — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 09:02:33 GMT

I would like to enable/disable menu items by a function.

some examples where I need this:
1: only if there is a window or door selected a menu item shall be enabled
2: only if username and password are filled in my settings dialog the other menu items shall be enabled

How is this possible?

The status of menu items can be managed using ACAPI_Interface with APIIo_SetMenuItemFlagsID.

The function works, but it's not clear when to call it.

I want some menu items to be enabled/disabled from program start.

Finally I solved it by returning APIAddon_Preload from CheckEnvironment().
Then Initialize() is called at the Start of Archicad.

Why did you return APIAddon_Preload from CheckEnvironment() instead of APIAddon_Normal?
