Creating and handling correctly a "dynamic" menu

  • Hi,

    I am writing a Skill code that creates dynamic menu which change its state according to the design edit state.
    The pop up menu is getting built with menu items such as the following:
    hiCreateMenu('myPopupMenu "myPopupMenu"
             list(
                    hiCreateMenuItem(
                     ?name 'dynamicContext1
                     ?itemText "item1"
                     ?callback "doSomething()"
                     ?disable isEditable() 
                  ))

    "isEditable" is a function that will return t/nil according to the design state (read/write).
    As far as I understand I need to build the entire menu from scratch at each time the menu is getting triggered to get the "disable" state change dynamically, Is that true?

    The next question is what should be done on the next menu pop up (menu creation) time? should I unbound "myPopupMenu" first and then create it agian in the same way?

    Thanks,
    Itay
