[Iup-users] Dynamically modified menus

[Antonio Scuri]

 IUP 2.x has a serious limitation on appending new controls to already
mapped containers like popup menus or dialogs.

 You can only dynamically create menus before they are mapped to the native
system.

 IUP 3 will not have that limitation.

 For now users implement different approaches to workaround that limitation.
A very simple one is just to change the title of existing menu items and
disable the extra menu items that are not used.

Best,
scuri
