CCmdUI Class

Is used only within an ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler in a CCmdTarget-derived class.

class CCmdUI

Remarks

CCmdUI does not have a base class.

When a user of your application pulls down a menu, each menu item needs to know whether it should be displayed as enabled or disabled. The target of a menu command provides this information by implementing an ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler. For each of the command user-interface objects in your application, use the Properties window to create a message-map entry and function prototype for each handler.

When the menu is pulled down, the framework searches for and calls each ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler, each handler calls CCmdUI member functions such as Enable and Check, and the framework then appropriately displays each menu item.

A menu item can be replaced with a control-bar button or other command user-interface object without changing the code within the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler.

The following table summarizes the effect CCmdUI's member functions have on various command user-interface items.
