How to add a submenu to a menu item dynamicly?

[villinz]

Just like the title, I want to add a submenu to a menu item dynamicly, but I can't find a method like "addMenu" or "addItem" in the Ext.menu.Item apis.
How to do it?
my extjs version is "2.0.2".
thanks! any response will be appreciated.

menu items are the last stop for a menu. You'll need to add menu's to your menu in order to add stuff to child nodes.

Could you post some sample code for this? I'm having trouble creating a nested set of menus. Thanks!

Nevermind, found it!

I was looking for the "menu" config property of the "Item" class. Since this is only settable at object creation time (and not later through a method), I suppose it's an implied requirement that the submenus are built before the parent menu.

For those who may be interested:
I have a Java tree structure (represented as a map of maps). I serialize it using Jabsorb/JSON-RPC, then create extjs menus (& submenus) using the following javascript method:

function buildMenu(theMenu, theTree) {
		for (var i in theTree) {
			var subMenu = null
			if (theTree[i].map) {
				subMenu = new Ext.menu.Menu({
				    ignoreParentClicks : true
				})
				buildSuggestionMenu(subMenu, theTree[i].map)
			}
			
			var newItem = {
				text: i
			}
			if (subMenu != null)
				newItem.menu = subMenu
			
			theMenu.add(newItem)
		}
	}
