Plugin to hide admin menu (vertical menu bar)

by

I am learning to write WordPress plugin and testing out a simple case: hide the admin bar base on user role. So far I have the following in my plugin file:

$hidemenu= new HideMenu();
class HideMenu
{
    function hideMenu() {
        add_filter( 'show_admin_bar' , array($this, 'hideAdminBar'));
    }

    function hideAdminBar() {
            if (!(current_user_can("administrator")) 
                            return false;
    }
}

This is base on the example given in WordPress reference. Any idea why this is not working?

Have you looked at the WP Custom Admin Bar plugin? At the very least it has some code chunks you can deconstruct to point you in the right direction.
