I don't think so, blessing a hash doesn't create a handle (windows does that), it just gives you an object you can call methods on

Which is why I don't understand why it's relevant. How does it help my solve the problem?

OTOH, the code you have posted includes no bless anywhere :)

Fair enough:

#!perl
use Win32::GUI;

&Main();
exit 0;

sub Main {

    my $Menu = Win32::GUI::MakeMenu(
        '&Program' => 'Program',
        ' > &Alpha' => { -name => 'Alpha', -onClick => \&Alpha_Select 
+},
        ' > &Beta' => { -name => 'Beta', -onClick => \&Beta_Select },
    );

    my $WinMain = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
        -name => 'Main',
        -menu => $Menu,
        -text => 'Menu Test',
        -width => 300,
        -height => 200,
        -onTerminate => \&Main_Terminate,
    );

    $WinMain->Show();
    Win32::GUI::Dialog();
}

sub Main_Terminate { -1; }
sub Alpha_Select { 1; }

sub Beta_Select {
    my($Window)=@_;
    my $menuhandle=$Window->GetMenu();
    my $menu = bless { -handle => $menuhandle }, 'Win32::GUI::Menu';
    $menu->{'Beta'}->Enabled(0); # Doesn't work.
    return 1;
}

You know, I could, or you could just read the link I posted :)

You posted a link to the tutorial. As I explained, I've already read the tutorial. I read it AGAIN after you posted the link, and yet AGAIN just now. I've read it three times in the last hour and still -- I don't see anything that's relevant to the problem, so again, can you please point out specifically what it is in the tutorial that's going to help me solve my problem?

Also, where are you getting your information from?

If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
