I am trying to add a seperator to the menu of my screen class. The menu Items I have created work fine but when I try to add a separator to organize the options, it doesn't work at all and no errors ???? Anyone know why ?
I created my own class that subclasses net.rim.device.api.ui.container.FullScreen as follows

public class myScreen extends FullScreen
{
    protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance)
    {
         //add some MenuItems
         menu.addSeparator();  //doesn't work
         menu.getDefault().separator(100); //doesnt work
         super(menu, instance);
    }
}

I've noticed that when you build the entire menu, the separator goes in fine, but if you build a menu on a screen with, for example, an edit field (which has its own menu items), your own separators get ignored. But I don't have any more details or explanations than that at the moment.

addSeperator adds the seperator to the end of the menu. When you are builing the menu on the screen, the default menu item - Close - is already there, with a very high ordinal, and hence occupying the last position in menu. Your Seperator goes and adds at the end of menu, which is useless.
Try doing a addMenuItem(MenuItem.seperator(ordinal)) where ordinal is greater the integer value of the item after which you want the seperator.

For example, if you have just added the following menuitem

new MenuItem("Show", 2000, 10) {....} and want the seperator after it,

use 2001 as the ordinal value
