Answer 2

如果您将该项目命名为“ Menu1”，则可以轻松启用或禁用它：

Menu1.Enabled = false;

Answer 3

As others said you can set the menu item's Enabled property, but It's better to give a name to the menu item that you are trying to change. then you can easily set it's enabled property as you want, for example name it menuitemAccountDepartment and then:

menuitemAccountDepartment.Enabled = false;

It's more readable and more manageable.
