We all know that Builder Pattern is one of the creational patterns and Composite Pattern is one of the structural patterns .
My question is, can I create a menu like a Command menu or menutoolbar with two of these Patterns?
What are their critical differences?  Or, which is better to create a menu toolbar?

Best Regards.

Thanks.

Hi,

You should use Composite Pattern as your menu items will be dynamic. 
Composite creates Parent - Child relations between your objects while Builder is used to create group of objects of predefined types.

So i would suggest you to use Composite to create your menu items.
