Hello,

So I'm starting to get familiar with how the menus, commands and handlers work together and how the activeWhen, enabledWhen and visibleWhen properties function.

However, I cannot seem to find a way to have a menu disabled. Say I have that "New" menu containing commands such as "New Square", "New Triangle", etc. I can make these commands disabled by using enabledWhen on their handlers.

Thing is I would like the "New" menu itself to be greyed out (disabled) when all its subitems (commands) are disabled, and I cannot figure out how. Menus only seem have a visibleWhen property.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Short version of the above: can't a menu (as in menu defined in a menuContribution) be disabled when it's not linked to a command?

Thanks in advance.

Jérémy

If menu has no commands, it will be unvisible.
If menu has commands which aren't handled, the menu will not be visible.
If menu has at least one command which is handled (even disabled) , the menu will be shown.
