How to layout MenuItems ? [message #456413]

Hello All!

I am writing a small application with SWT and am wondering if it's possible
to lay out MenuItems in a menu.
I know with a ToolBar it's possible to set a layout, so the ToolItems can
be positioned.
But with Menu I think this doesn't work because Menu isn't a subclass of
composite.

Is there any way I can position MenuItems within a MenuBar ?

My application has several MenuItems which should be left aligned as usual
but
there's also a MenuItem which should be right aligned.

Any hints very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

HoloJoe

I hope the question was clear.

I meant to position MenuItems in a Bar menu so that most of the items are
on
the left side of the application window and the "Help" menu should be on
the
right side of the shell.
It should look like this:

|File View Options Help|

| |

You know what I mean, don't you ?

There is no support in SWT for this right now. The capbability is available
on most operating systems to do this but commercial apps, since Windows 3.1,
don't seem to make use of it.

Many thanks!

Are there any plans to support it in the near future ?
You are right, there aren't that many applications which make use of it.
But I think it would be nice to have support for that kind of thing in SWT.

Thanks again,

HoloJoe

There aren't any plans. You could enter a bug report but since most apps no
longer do this, priority would be low.
