public class SubMenuManager

extends SubContributionManager

implements IMenuManager

A SubMenuManager is used to define a set of contribution items within a parent manager. Once defined, the visibility of the entire set can be changed as a unit.

A client may ask for and make additions to a submenu. The visibility of these items is also controlled by the visibility of the SubMenuManager.
