[OpendTect_Developers] New popup menu insertion

[Tracy Stark]

Hello,

I have a plugin that creates a uiPopupMenu in the Processing pulldown menu
using:
        mnumgr.procMnu()->insertItem( mnu );
Where mnu is a uiPopupMenu* that contains a single menu item.

I am trying to create a second plugin that places another menu item into the
uiPopupMenu of the previous plugin, if the uiPopupMenu exists.  I am able to
determine whether or not the menu exists, but I can't figure out how to add
another menu item.

What I am trying to do would be similar to adding the "Tut Tools" menus to
"Processing" -> "Create Seismic Output" instead of "Utilities" -> "Tools".

I am able to use 
    uiMenuItem* itm = mnumgr.procMnu()->find( "My New Menu" );

To return itm that is not null.  I have tried to use

mDynamicCastGet(uiPopupMenu*, mnu2, itm)

 but mnu2 returns as a null pointer.

Any suggestions?  Is what I am trying to do even possible?

Thanks,

Tracy
