I tried your code and it works for me. So the problem is how you are using the code or something outside else that is in the rest of your code.

thanx a lot in advance I see you are have a CMenu object that you are not using. I assume you are using MFC so you should use the CMenu object.

Regardlous of that, I don't see what the value of the GetMenuItemID is; I think it is not needed.

Are you sure you have the correct window handle (wnd)?
