Creating menu items at runtime [message #948818]

Hello, all!

I tried to add new menu item dynamically to the "File" menu of the main menu:

MDirectMenuItem item = MMenuFactory.INSTANCE.createDirectMenuItem();
item.setLabel("LABEL");
fileMenu.getChildren().add(item);

After execution of this code, there is no result. The main menu is unchanged. This code I read in tuorials.
May be it is necessary to execute something else to force updating the menu?

I tried to add

item.setToBeRendered(true);

item.setVisible(true);

E4Workbench.processHierarchy(application);

no effect.

Please search the newsgroup! This is a bug in the menu renderer code.
