Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

■ More than one condition can cause this error:
 
  • The Checked property for a menu control can't be selected
    when that control is a top-level menu title.
 
  • The Separator property for a menu control can't be set
    when the control is a top-level menu title.
 
  • The Visible property can't be set to False(0) for the
    last visible submenu on a parent menu. You can't have a
    parent menu with no visible submenu items.
 
■ Possible solution:
 
  • Change your reference to the Checked, Separator, or
    Visible property to conform to the usage rules outlined
    above.
