Summary0012776: Actions not updated if only in menu
DescriptionWhen an action is attached only to a menu item, it is not updated
when the menu item is made visible. Actions that are attached to menu items are not updated when a menu is popped up.
Steps To ReproduceCompile and run attached sample program.
Note that the checkbox is not checked, and hence the action should be disabled.
- Click 'Test' menu: 'Test action' menu item should be enabled.
- Click it.
  The action is NOT executed, because update handler is executed first
  and it disables the action.
- Click 'test' menu again: 'Test action' menu item is now disabled.
The 'OnUpdate' handler should be executed whenever the associated menu item becomes visible.
TagsNo tags attached.

 0.9.28, if a patch is provided or this is a regression (= it worked correctly in earlier Lazarus versions).

 The problem is caused by a missing call to TMainMenu.FItems.InitiateActions
I suggest the resolution is to place the following at the start of TMenuItem.Click;
****
if IsInMenuBar then
  InitiateActions;
****
Note: missing feature...
TPopupMenu should have a published a property override from TMenu:
    property OnChange;

 I stumbled over the same problem (In 0.9.26 release and daily snapshot 20081231) . Actions which are connected to buttons are correctly updated by a timer, actions connected to a popup menu are updated when the popup menu opens but actions which are only connected to a main menu item are only updated when the action is executed. This is pretty useless. I have a "CloseAction" which must be disabled when nothing is there to close. The result is, the user can click "Close" which does nothing but disabling the Close Action.

My workaround is putting this code into my form:

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  InstallActionUpdateFix(MainMenu1.Items);
end;

procedure TForm1.InstallActionUpdateFix(MenuItem: TMenuItem);
var
  i: Integer;
begin
  if (MenuItem.Count > 0) and (not Assigned(MenuItem.OnClick)) then
  begin
    MenuItem.OnClick := @FixActionUpdate;
    for i := 0 to MenuItem.Count - 1 do
      InstallActionUpdateFix(MenuItem.Items[i]);
  end;
end;

procedure TForm1.FixActionUpdate(Sender: TObject);
var
  i: Integer;
  MenuItem: TMenuItem;
begin
  for i := 0 to TMenuItem(Sender).Count - 1 do
  begin
    MenuItem := TMenuItem(Sender).Items[i];
    if Assigned(MenuItem.Action) and Assigned(MenuItem.Action.OnUpdate) then
    begin
      MenuItem.Action.OnUpdate(MenuItem.Action);
    end;
  end;
end;

This code does the following: When the form is created then a special OnClick handler is installed into ALL main menu items which have sub menu items. This special OnClick handler calls the OnUpdate method of all actions connected to sub menu items of the clicked menu item.

Works great but I hope that a similiar functionality will be implemented in LCL some day because without it the ActionList is quite useless if most actions are only referenced in a main menu.
