Hi,

I figured out how to create new menus. But the problem is I don't know how to refresh the menu bar to reflect the addition of my new menu.
It shows up if I switch to another layout. But that's not good.

    BaseContainer *bc = GetMenuResource(String("M_EDITOR"));    //Gets the items under the M_EDITOR section   
 if (!bc) return TRUE;  
 GeData *last = SearchPluginMenuResource();      
 BaseContainer sc;  
 sc.InsData(MENURESOURCE_SUBTITLE,String("MyNewMenu"));       //Adds a new menu entry to the UI in memory only      
 if (last) bc->InsDataAfter(MENURESOURCE_STRING,sc,last);   //Adds the new menu to the UI

How do I get the menu bar to update?

Doh!

The answer was lying right under my nose in the docs: UpdateMenus();
If it was a snake it would have bitten me.
