That's not at all what I said. YOu would put an ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler in whatever
view wants to disable the menu items.

You can't disable *all* the menu items typically, because you want File>Exit, Help>About,
other Help items, etc. enabled.  If you don't have a handler for a menu item, it is
typically disabled; if you want to override enablement, you would put a handler in your
HTML View class that disabled the menu items.  When a menu item is disabled, the
corresponding toolbar item is disabled.

Greetings,

I have an MFC app within which a user can choose to go to the
company's web site.  If they select this from the menu, a CMDIChildWnd
is created containing a CHtmlView.  I need to have it so when this
window is opened, all the menus are disabled and the toolbar is
disabled.  Also, when the window loses / gets focus, the menus are
disabled / enabled respectively.

Is there an easy way of doing this?  How might I go about it?

Thanks for your help!
