You're using swt? Call setEnabled(false) on the menu item. See http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Java/0280__SWT/DisableMenuItem.htmI certainly hope and presume you wish to do this in the standard way and not by sending messages to specific screen readers.

There should soon be a new release of BrailleBlaster in which the New, Open, Save as and Translate menu items are active. All the other menu items are inactive.
