B4J Question disable menu entry

[madru]

Good morning,

must be blind but how can I do this, disable a menu entry?

THX

MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();

Menu menu = new Menu("File");
MenuItem newItem = new MenuItem("Load");
menu.getItems().add(newItem);
menu.getItems().add(new MenuItem("Save"));
menu.getItems().add(new SeparatorMenuItem());
menu.getItems().add(new MenuItem("Quit"));

newItem.setDisable(true);

OK, found this here in the forum:

    menus.Initialize
    CollectMenuItems(menus, Menubar1.Menus)
    Dim mi As MenuItem = menus.Get("Save")
    mi.Enabled = False

but unfortunately it doesn't work:

Error occurred on line: 137 (Main) => 'mi.Enabled = False'
java.lang.RuntimeException: Object should first be initialized (MenuItem).

here is the menu structure:

[
    {Text: "File",Children:
        [
            {Text: "Open",EventName: "mnuOpen",Tag: "mnuOpen",Shortcut: {Key: "o",Modifier: "CONTROL"}},
            {Text: "Save",EventName: "mnuSave",Tag: "mnuSave",Shortcut: {Key: "s",Modifier: "CONTROL"}},
            "-",
            {Text: "export HTML",EventName: "mnuExport",Tag: "mnuExport",Shortcut: {Key: "e",Modifier: "CONTROL"}},
            "-",
            {Text: "Quit",EventName: "mnuQuit",Tag: "mnuQuit",Shortcut: {Key: "x",Modifier: "CONTROL"}}
        ]
    },
    {Text: "Edit",Children:
        [
            {Text: "Copy",EventName: "mnuCopy",Tag: "mnuCopy",Shortcut: {Key: "c",Modifier: "CONTROL"}},
            {Text: "Past",EventName: "mnuPast",Tag: "mnuPast",Shortcut: {Key: "p",Modifier: "CONTROL"}},
            "-",
            {Text: "Clear",EventName: "mnuClear",Tag: "mnuClear",Shortcut: {Key: "c",Modifier: "CONTROL"}}
        ]
    },
    {Text: "Help",Children:
        [
            {Text: "About",EventName: "mnuAbout",Tag: "mnuAbout"}
        ]
    }
]

It is better to post a link to the relevant post: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/designer-menu-items.56602/#post-358367

CollectMenuItems builds the map based on the items tag. The tag in this case is mnuSave.

yes, you are absolutely right

menus.Put(mi.Tag, mi)

I have overseen the 'Tag' ......
