My answer is alternative. Your problem is net the menu itself, but probably selection, because you menu functionality is based on selection in a grid, right?

So, don't disable menu, modify the menu content depending on selection. If this is System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu use the event Popup. For example, if nothing is selected on menu popup, hide selection-specific items, display only "Add...", "Help", etc.

Set the ContextMenuStrip property for each row in the grid and not for the grid.
