Hello again,

I can disable a direct tool menuitem using:

EModelService uielementService = context.get(EModelService.class);
MDirectToolItem Button = (MDirectToolItem) uielementService.find("eID", application);
Button.setEnabled(false);

I was trying to do the same for a corresponding button in the menu , a MDirectMenuItem, but it does not work..

Help would be really appreciated! Thanks!

MDirectMenuItem should be calling your @CanExecute method, is it not?
That's probably it, actually, since not providing a @CanExecute implies
canExecute == true.

The ToolItem pattern needs to be updated so it is invoking @CanExecute
as well.
