Hi,

I wan to change the name of my Custom Menu item on clicking the parent Menu.

For that I am using following code:

IWorkbench workbench = Activator.getDefault().getWorkbench(); //PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
Menu menubar = workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell().getMenuBar() ;

menubar.addMenuListener(new MenuListener() {

@Override
public void menuShown(MenuEvent arg0) {
}

@Override
public void menuHidden(MenuEvent arg0) { }
});

but it never calls the public void menuShown(MenuEvent arg0) {} method while the menuHidden method is working fine.

What should I do? Any work around?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,

You mean I need to add eclipse.platform as dependencies and then it will work?

If it is so then I tried the same but it is still not working.

Thanks,
Dharmang
