Update menu widget when the frontend initialization is finished

[sophieminasyan]

Hi ,

I am using vs-code extension on my custom theia application. Based on the extension configuration there is a need to update the Menu item when the initialization of the frontend app is finished.

Is it possible to register new menu action, and reload the menu widget when the initialization of the frontend app is already finished ?

Hey @sophieminasyan,

Yes, the menu widget will update dynamically when new entries are added. See also #13720.

@msujew
The question was can a new menu item be registered by using registerCommand and registerMenuAction when the menubar initialization is already finished?

I’ve updated my code and it’s now working as expected. After adding this line:
this.preferenceService.updateValue('window.menuBarVisibility', 'visible');

Thank you!
