menuseparator config

[ax123man]

I'm having problems creating a menu separator in a menu using config. It didn't look like Ext had an xtype registered for this so I did this:

Ext.ComponentMgr.registerType('menuseparator', Ext.menu.Separator);


but it doesn't look like ext respects xtypes when creating menu items. What's the best way to work around this?

I don't think 2.x supports menu xtypes. Does "-" not do what you need?

Adds a separator bar to a menu, used to divide logical groups of menu items. Generally you will add one of these by using "-" in you call to add() or in your items config rather than creating one directly.

maybe, but my config objects are created via DWR from objects created via xtream & xml. So they are java classes with properties, not simple strings.

it was easy:

<menu>
<items>
<button text="A button" />
<string>-</string>
<button text="Another button" />
