> Please improve the Menu Control, by allowing the user to show/hide menu items, and also to enable/disable them.
> Right now, this is not possible at all with the Menu Control :(.
> This is very limiting, making the existing Menu Control useless for most user applications, thus forcing the users
> to make their own menu controls (or the hack the original one). 
> There's no need for these properties to be present in menu.xml, since their role is mostly at runtime:
> - enable/disable would allow to enable or disable a menu item (so to show it but make it unclickable).
> - show/hide would allow to to show and hide menu items (of course if the user doesn't have a specific role, the menu will be hidden).
> Regarding the API, it would be important to have practical methods for hiding and disabling menu items:
> something like Menu#hide(Menu item) would not be very practical since in most cases the "item" reference is not present
> so it should be Menu#hide(String path), and when applied, to seach this in the children items too.
> Another improvement would be if the Menu Click control would use Link Controls for the items (since that's what they are).
> Thank you,
> Demetrios.
