c++ - Empty wxWidgets menus on OSX -

i'm using wxwidgets 2.9.4 on osx 10.8.3 , built library cocoa.

i want add menu bar menus wxframe:

wxmenubar* menubar = new wxmenubar();  wxmenu* filemenu = new wxmenu(); wxmenu* helpmenu = new wxmenu();  helpmenu->append(wxid_about, wxt("about")); filemenu->append(wxid_exit, wxt("exit"));  menubar->append(filemenu, wxt("file")); menubar->append(helpmenu, wxt("about"));  setmenubar(menubar); 

since i'm using standard ids adding menu items(as described here), automatically moves about , exit application menu(i think it's called apple menu), makes file , help menus empty:

are there ways hide empty menus?

actually tried remove them:

#if defined(__wxmac__) || defined(__wxosx__) || defined(__wxosx_cocoa__)     menubar->remove(0);     menubar->remove(0); #endif 

but caused , exit menu items helptext, not displayed on frame statusbar (might have other side effects well.)

it seems there's no standard way hiding menus in wxwidgets.

i ended writing few lines of objective-c code find , hide empty menus:

// macmenuworkaround.h  #import <cocoa/cocoa.h>  @interface macmenuworkaround : nsobject  +(void) hideemptymenus;  @end 

---

// macmenuworkaround.m  #import "macmenuworkaround.h"  @implementation macmenuworkaround  +(void) hideemptymenus {     nsmenu* mainmenu = [[nsapplication sharedapplication] mainmenu];      (nsmenuitem* item in [mainmenu itemarray]) {         nsmenu* menu = [item submenu];          if ([[menu itemarray] count] < 2) {             [item sethidden:yes];         }     } }  @end 

---

// macmenuworkaroundbridge.h  #ifndef __wxstarter__macmenuworkaroundbridge__ #define __wxstarter__macmenuworkaroundbridge__  namespace cocoabridge {     void hideemptymenus(); }  #endif /* defined(__wxstarter__macmenuworkaroundbridge__) */ 

---

// macmenuworkaroundbridge.cpp // set file type objective-c++ source  #import "macmenuworkaround.h" #include "macmenuworkaroundbridge.h"  namespace cocoabridge {     void hideemptymenus() {         [macmenuworkaround hideemptymenus];     } } 

---

then in code:

#include "macmenuworkaroundbridge.h" //... #if defined(__wxmac__) || defined(__wxosx__) || defined(__wxosx_cocoa__) cocoabridge::hideemptymenus(); #endif
