Description Greg Roberts CLA 2003-12-09 10:23:20 EST 
No mechanism for retrieving the height of a Menu or a MenuItem. No way to get 
the bounds of a menu either so there is no way to work around this on both 
Linux and Windows. They behave differently as far as when setting location of a 
Menu on the OS so can work around it on 1 OS but not the other, depending on if 
the Menu is POP_UP or PULL_DOWN. Our product UI relys heavily on locating a 
Menu so this is a critical/blocking situation for us.

Will investigate determining a menu's size on the various platforms.
Comment 2 Grant Gayed CLA 2004-02-06 13:08:38 EST 
I've done some looking at this today.  The platforms seem to support it 
(haven't checked mac yet), though they each have quirks w.r.t. giving the 
correct answer, particularly for x and y location (width and height generally 
work better).  I'll bring this up with others next week once they return from 
eclipseCon.

Fixed > 0220.  There was more resistance to this than I expected.  Added new 
api Menu.getSize() which returns a Point representing the size of a visible 
popup, pulldown, or bar.
Comment 4 Grant Gayed CLA 2004-03-02 18:56:37 EST 
Reopening.  api has been removed because in order for it to work it requires 
that a menu be visible, which defeats the main use case for this.  Still 
looking into this.
