Description Randy Hudson CLA 2004-06-14 17:46:49 EDT 
The new Search View has a menu triangle on it, but when you click on it nothing 
happens.  It has no local menu.
Comment 1 Randy Hudson CLA 2004-06-14 17:49:42 EDT 
That is, until you invoke a search. Then there are some choices in the menu.

Also frustrating is the fact that you cannot invoke the search dialog from the 
[new] search view.  Which is why the user might look in the local view menu to 
try to find "Search.." action.
Comment 2 Thomas M??der CLA 2004-06-29 05:35:12 EDT 
The triangle comes from the platform.
Comment 3 Nick Edgar CLA 2004-06-29 10:34:31 EDT 
The triangle should only appear when items are added to the menu manager.
It should also go away if all items are removed.
It's necessary to call IActionBars.updateActionBars() after any additions or
removals.
Comment 4 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2005-06-08 04:31:27 EDT 
the items added are only separators and group markers; the triangle still show up.
Comment 5 Nick Edgar CLA 2005-06-08 10:01:03 EDT 
I believe we show the view menu button if there are any contributions to the menu.
Probably should determine whether there would be any visible ones.
E.g. do the MenuManager update, then hide/show the button if the Menu is
empty/non-empty.
