Hi,

I am dynamically creating a MDirectToolItem with a menu for my Part-Toolbar (no difference when using main-toolbar)
MDirectToolItem item = createDirectToolItem("any"); //$NON-NLS-1$
MMenu menu = MMenuFactory.INSTANCE.createMenu();
menu.setVisible(true);
menu.setToBeRendered(true);
menu.getChildren().add(createDirectMenuItem("other")); //$NON-NLS-1$
item.setMenu(menu);

m_Part.getToolbar().getChildren().add(item);


    private MDirectMenuItem createDirectMenuItem(String strID)
    {
        MDirectMenuItem menuItem = MMenuFactory.INSTANCE.createDirectMenuItem();
        menuItem.setLabel("anyLabel");

        TestHandler th = new TestHandler();
        menuItem.setObject(th);
        
        URL iconURL = FileLocator.find(...); //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$
        if(iconURL != null){
            menuItem.setIconURI(iconURL.toString());
        }
        menuItem.setToBeRendered(true);
        menuItem.setVisible(true);
        menuItem.setElementId(strID);
        
        return menuItem;
    }


and the renderer creates a toolItem with the dropdown-arrow in the toolbar but clicking on the arrow does not have any effect.

I know there are bugs existing in the MenuRenderers regarding adding/removing Items at runtime, so I closed my application and started it again to directly create the toolitem from the serialized workbench-model but the arrow of the toolitem was still not clickable.

Is this a known bug or am I doing smth wrong?

What's your SDK and tools build ID? Not long ago I wrote something similar and it worked IIRC.

Iam using the Platform Runtime Repo (category: Platform Runtime Binary) from 4.2 release build (http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.2-201206081400/) in my target platform and the Eclipse SDK for Windows from the same version for developing the application. Iam not sure what you mean by "tools".
SDK says:
Java Development Tools build ID is I20120608-1400
org.eclipse.e4.tools version is 0.12.0.v20120529-2033
