What API are you using and how ?

What excatly would you assume that should happen when you use the API, and what are you experiencing happining instead ?

I found this example in the symbian API help

void CMyappView::DynInitMenuPaneL( TInt aResourceId,
                                   CEikMenuPane* aMenuPane )
{
  if ( aResourceId == R_COMMON_MENU )
  {

    CEikMenuPaneItem::SData menuFindNext;

    menuFindNext.iCommandId = EMyappFindNext;

    menuFindNext.iCascadeId = 0;

    menuFindNext.iFlags = 0;

    menuFindNext.iText = KMyappFindNext;

    aMenuPane->AddMenuItemL( menuFindNext );

  }
}

I need a pointer CEikMenuPane to the menu show in the power button click

that would work in general menu handling insaide your own application, I would not think that it would be fired when the power key is pressed outside your own application contex.

or have you verified that this function gets called when the power key is pressed ?

No
This function is to add a item to a menu
When the user press the power button one menu appears
So I need a handle to this menu to use my function to add another item
I believe this menu is created when the system starts e exists while the power is on
So I want to add a item in this menu when my app starts.
Thx

You can track focus changes via implementing AppUi::HandleForegroundEventL. If you check it, you will see that the menu in question is provided by a completely different application. DynInitMenuPaneL in your application can not change it.
