Re: [api-dev] Menu control

Why not removing them completely? a) from source code (I searched with ximian lxr and there was no single implementation I found about XMenu) b) from documentation (IDL Reference) Deprecated means: don't use that interface, it's doomed, but you have a grace period. After this period it will be removed. In case if the XMenu... interfaces I assume that there just wasn't nobody who did it. We are planning an API revision (checking for possible usage of new UNO features), maybe that's a good opportunity for removing some deprecated stuff.

I think that there is a lot of request in this area, since it would improve customization of OOo's GUI a lot and make it possible for developers around the world to create their own OOo looks (of course there are tight boundaries, but as of yet it is not even possible to disable certain menu entries in the main menu as far as I know) without having to hack portions of the huge source code and repackaging their own oo distributions. For complete customization of menu it is still recommended to use XML files. The new API for menus is a dynamic way to change the menu at runtime, f.e. to extend it for components added to the installation.
