hi stuart,

thanks for youre reply.

this is exactly what i was looking for, i would like to restrict

the Bits 8–15 (byte at 32F1): Flight Sim menu restrictions - 2^14 that disables them Menu: Flights, Aircraft and World menus.

To be honest i have no idea how to write that in Visual Basic, reading values is no problem.

Do you have a litle example for me?

Thanks a lot

Stefan

Stefan,

Private Type DWORD_Split
  Byt0 As Byte
  Byt1 As Byte
  Byt2 As Byte
  Byt3 As Byte
End Type

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim dwResult As Long
Dim vDisable As DWORD_Split
  vDisable.Byt0 = 0
  vDisable.Byt1 = 64
  vDisable.Byt2 = 0
  vDisable.Byt3 = 255
  Call FSUIPC_Write(&H32F0, 4, VarPtr(vDisable), dwResult)
  Call FSUIPC_Process(dwResult)
End Sub

Note that the FSUIPC docs state that you will need to call this frequently in order to maintain the menu disabling effect for a period of time. FSUIPC will reset it a few seconds after being called to prevent crashed apps from rendering FS menu options inaccessible.
