Add a new menu

I have only used the ActiveX version, but I belive MFC has all of the features of ActiveX and more.  I think you could create all of the menubar items like you normally do, but add every menubar item that your application will ever use.  Now hide the menubar items that you do not want to see when the application starts.  You can then hide/unhide specific menubar controls.  So add them in the order you will eventually want them in.  For example, your menu starts out with File, Edit, Views, Help.  When you create the menu you create File, Edit, Views, Add-Ins, Tools, Window, Help.  After the menu is created, hide the Add-Ins, Tools, and Window controls.  When creating these menu controls you can use the same ideas the Dynamic Popups sample uses, only for the menu control.  In that example you can add and delete button controls from the split button popup without opening the menu.  Can someone familiar with the MFC version confirm this is possible?  Hope this helps
