have a "?" to which item you are trying to add the menu item? and, "this" stands for!! button? on what event you are trying to get the menu items back again? please paste the clear code.

This should work - just verified. The Problem may be that you check before the menu is re-rendered. So create a second "Test-Button", add your menu dynamically, call Findname from another event-handler/command and it should work.
