13.4.46 Efficient redisplay of menu bar

capi:redisplay-menu-bar has a new keyword argument :redo-items .

The value redo-items controls whether items in a capi:menu or capi:menu-component that have an items-function get recomputed when capi:redisplay-menu-bar is called. It defaults to t in order to ensure that any accelerators are up-to-date.

If the menu bar does contain menus (including sub-menus and menu-components) that have an items-function , then if you call capi:redisplay-menu-bar often (for example, each time the user types a character) it is better to pass redo-items nil .
