Description Dharmang CLA 2011-01-05 09:52:47 EST 
Build Identifier: Eclipse 3.6

IWorkbench workbench = Activator.getDefault().getWorkbench(); //PlatformUI.getWorkbench(); 
		Menu menubar = workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell().getMenuBar();		
		
		menubar.addMenuListener(new MenuListener() {			

			@Override
			public void menuShown(MenuEvent arg0) {		
								
							}
			
			@Override
			public void menuHidden(MenuEvent arg0) {				
			}			
		});

I tried the above code and it never calls the "public void menuShown(MenuEvent arg0)" method.

Reproducible: Always

Menu bars are only ever shown once.

Then what is the perpose of adding the method in Listner..?

I want to change the name of My Menu Item on selecting the parent menu. What should I do?

Other menus can be shown repeatedly (think "dropdown" and popup menus).
