Title: Adding/removing menu items [resolved]
Post by: stardust on February 27, 2007, 10:20:43 am

Hi,

how can I add/remove menu items in the main menu bar when attaching/detaching a plugin?

Can you give me some grep patterns that will lead me to respective places in the c:b sources that do this, too? I.e. Class/method/event names.

Is there anything special to consider beside doing the menu changes and notifying the AUI?

Thanks

take a look at some old tutorial I wrote :

It is outdated but still might be of help though ...

Thanks,

I missed the project wizard's checkboxes :oops:

States

Code

int pos = menuBar->FindItem(_("Edit"));

but I had to use

Code

int pos = menuBar->FindMenu(_("Edit"));

I guess this is a misstake in the wiki. I did not change the wiki because I am a c::b greenhorn and not 100% sure about that ;-)
