Hide Empty Submenus [message #988895]

Hello,

is it possible to hide empty submenus in RAP? I am working on an application, that disables MenuItems on startup, to provide different versions to users with different privileges. Our Menu is configured via extension points and menu items are disabled by visibleWhen conditions. Our problem are submenus, that are not hidden when they are empty. Instead the entry shows up as usual in the menu and when it is activated by the mouse it is disabled. I tried adding visibleWhen checks to the submenu definitions, but with no success...

Any hints on how to improve on this, without creating the menu programmatically, would be great.

Thanks,
Tiburon

Hi,
did you check your code against RCP? The menu items visibility is
controlled by the workbench. If it's working there, but not in RAP, it's
probably a bug. Please open a bugzilla in this case.
Thanks,
Ivan

I am sorry, but I can not check against RCP at the moment. For now we hide empty submenu in the parent menumanager by removing contribution items before fill() is called.
