Add seperator in addin menu?

[Sorno]

How do I add a horizontal seperator in the addin menu?

It's not mentioned in the documentation regarding "EA_GetMenuItems" or "Define Menu Items".

Thanks!

IIRC you have to return "-" as menu name.

Thank you!

I tried with - before but as in "&-". Which reminds me that I don't know why do the other strings begin with &?

I feel silly each time this happens in the forum. When I search for "seperator" nothing turns up.  And I do use the proper search page, and not the right hand field. I missed the option "This post was made in the last... week"  

Thank you again,

It's not you being silly. There is this Search button which leads you to a very dumb search page. Plus the "Search the forum" which does not return anything at all. Plus (!) the "Search..." on top of this which will make confusion perfect.

You put the & in front of the letter that you want to be the shortcut key. So "Short&cut" would appear as "Shortcut" and pressing 'c' will execute the command if the menu has focus.

Ha, I didn't know that either, thanks KP

Just for further reference regarding the "&" within the menu item text, this is called a Mnemonic Key and is a pretty standard practice to help with keyboard navigation.  See:
