EModelService doesn't find the menu item [message #1700700]

Hi,

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I cannot retreive menu items from the EModelService.
I'm using Mars (4.5) with Build id: I20150528-0700

The code I used is : List<MHandledMenuItem> itemsMenu = modelService.findElements(app, null, MHandledMenuItem.class, null);

This is correct with the MHandledToolItem, in this case the method returns all the tool item. But with MHandledMenuItem I get 0 item.

Am I doing it wrong ? Or this is a bug ?

Thanks

Contrary to what it seems to be, the constant EModelService.ANYWHERE doesn't search anywhere so I added EModelService.IN_MAIN_MENU to EModelService.ANYWHERE which give the line below
List<MHandledItem> items = modelService.findElements(app, null, MHandledItem.class, tags, EModelService.ANYWHERE | EModelService.IN_MAIN_MENU);
So, now it search anywhere

Thanks Loic, that was useful!

I had a similar issue while looking for a MDirectMenuItem, and I also had to add the EModelService.IN_PART to the findElements() call.
