A bug. Depending on which version of the library you have ...

You need to make a small change to the setEnable() routine inside win32lib.ew.

Replace

  if w32Func( xEnableMenuItem, {
        lHandle,        -- menu handle
        id,                     -- id
        flag} )= #FFFFFFFF      -- enable/disble
  then


with 

  if w32Func( xEnableMenuItem, {
        lHandle,        -- menu handle
        ctrl_Menu[id][3],
        flag} )= #FFFFFFFF      -- enable/disble
  then
