Conditional displaying of top-level menu.

I have custom menu named WinFuse added to the list of Visual studio top
level menus (File, Edit, Build...).
The menu is created in ctc file as following:

MENUS_BEGI
    guidDesignerVsPackageCmdSet:WinFuseMenu,        guidDesignerVsPackageCmdSet:WinFuseMenuGroup,
    0,
    ,
    "WinFuse",
    "WinFuse";
MENUS_END

NEWGROUPS_BEGI
    guidDesignerVsPackageCmdSet:WinFuseMenuGroup,    guidSHLMainMenu:IDM_VS_TOOL_MAINMENU,                0x0700;
NEWGROUPS_END

WinFuse menu is displayed whenever visual studio starts. I’d like to be
able to display (or to enable) the menu only when solution is opened. Please
provide me with general direction.

Best Regards
Ilia Blank.

Hi Ilia,

You need to add an entry for your menu in the VISIBILITY section of the
CTC file. For example:

VISIBILITY_SECTION
// Command, GUID when visible
guidDesignerVsPackageCmdSet:WinFuseMenu, UICONTEXT_SolutionExists;
VISIBILITY_END

Note, the UICONTEXT_SolutionExists guid is defined in vsshlids.h. Query the
VSIP docs for VISIBILITY_SECTION for more details.

Sincerely,

Dear Ed,
It doesn't work for me.
I quote from VISIBILITY_SECTION section help on MSDN
"..This section only applies to commands and toolbars..".
guidDesignerVsPackageCmdSet:WinFuseMenu is top level menu
Does it make any difference?

Hi Ilia,

Can you post your .CTC file in it's entirety?

Thanks,
