Dynamic Submenus in Dynamic Menus? [message #335797]

Hello,

is it possible to create dynamic submenus in dynamic menus? What I mean is
the following situation. I want to create several (dynamic) menus which
can contain many (dynamic) submenu items. For example in the following
structure the number of menus and submenu items can change dynamically and
I want to show this structure as menus:

- menu1
--- submenu item1
--- submenu item2
--- ...

- menu2
--- submenu item1
--- submenu item2
--- submenu item3
--- ...

- ...

What I've found until now is the CompoundContributionItem class which can
dynamically create IContributionItem[]s. And this is very suitable for
showing dynamically submenu items. But I don't know how to create
dynamically the main menus. Do you have some idea?

Thank You,
Nikolay

I decided that I won't do it with extension points, but with the method:

menuAboutToShow(IMenuManager manager)

and of course it worked perfectly! :)
