Project that reproduces the issue

I have been trying to get dropdown menu to display in a toolitem, but haven't been able to get it to work.

I am using the MMenuFactory to create a MDirectToolItem and then I am setting a MMenu on that tool item. The MMenu has a couple items in it. When I run the application the tool item displays with the down arrow, but when I click on the down arrow the menu doesn't display.

I will attach screen prints and a project that reproduces the issue.

Josh, it is possible, although not the way you are doing it! I did not reproduce it in code but in the application model, funny thing is the following:

Part/Toolbar/HandledMenuItem/Menu/DirectMenuItem  -> works
Part/Toolbar/DirectMenuItem/Menu/DirectMenuItem   -> does NOT work

Whats the thing here?

One additional funny thing:

Part/Toolbar leads to the same menu as Part/Menus/ViewMenu!

Josh,

I've created the sample project with workaround for the issue: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=232785

I will continue to investigate the main issue,
Daniel
