No matter how often I try, I find the whole side menu thing quite 
confusing. Until now I have had to avoid right hand side menus because I 
simply cannot get them to work. Left hand side I have been able to get 
working using Toolbar, roughly something like this:

Toolbar toolbarForLeftMenu;

if (toolbarForLeftMenu==null)
        {
            toolbarForLeftMenu = new Toolbar();
        }
        
        toolbarForLeftMenu.setHidden(true);
        f.setToolbar(toolbarForLeftMenu);
    
        final Container SideMenuLEFT = 
(Container)this.createContainer(resources, "SideMenuLEFT");
  
        toolbarForLeftMenu.addComponentToSideMenu(SideMenuLEFT);

That works great. However I also need a right menu, which you cannot do 
with the Toolbar  as far as I am aware. So I am trying to add a right menu 
by using SideMenuBar, this actually opens up the side bar fine but I cannot 
work out how to actually add my container to it, here is what I am doing, 
but it always remains empty:

final Container SideMenuRIGHT = (Container)this.createContainer(resources, 
"SideMenuRIGHT");        
        
        if (smbForRightMenu==null)
        {
            smbForRightMenu = (SideMenuBar) 
Display.getInstance().getCurrent().getMenuBar();
            smbForRightMenu.add(SideMenuRIGHT);
            smbForRightMenu.putClientProperty("SideComponent", 
smbForRightMenu);//revalidate();
            _("added content to the right menu...");
        }
        smbForRightMenu.openMenu(SideMenuBar.COMMAND_PLACEMENT_VALUE_RIGHT);

So basically my question is, why doesnt my container (SideMenuRIGHT) appear 
on the right menu when it opens up ?
