Can not nest more than 23 Menu's. [message #438700]

I am trying to create a nested menu structure that can contain any number
of potential sub menu's. As it turns out if I add anymore than 23
submenu's I get an SWT error. Is anyone familiar with this problem? Is
this a known bug? I have not been able to find an existing bug for this.

org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: Cannot set menu
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:2651)
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:2555)
at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.error(Widget.java:354)
at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.MenuItem.setMenu(MenuItem.java:796)
..
..
..

Thank you,

Greg

Seems to be a limitation on Windows. The OS call to SetMenuItemInfo fails
with reason ERROR_MENU_ITEM_NOT_FOUND.

You can enter a bug report against Platform SWT but I think this is just an
OS limitation.

Greg,

In my experience menus of such depth only annoy users. Usually when faced
with such a situation I use one of the eclipse selection dialogs to
display the options in a tree hierarchy.
