[OpendTect_Developers] New popup menu insertion

[Raman Singh]

Hi Tracy,

So far, so good. Now instead of casting 'itm' as uiPopupMenu*, cast it 
as uiPopupItem* and then call the function uiPopupItem::menu() to get 
the corresponding uiPopupMenu& where you can insert your new menu items.

Something like:

uiMenuItem* itm = mnumgr.procMnu()->find( "My New Menu" );
mDynamicCastGet(uiPopupItem*, popupitm, itm);
if ( popupitm )
      popupitm->menu().insertItem( <yournewmenuitem> );



I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Raman
