How to check Radio in Menu Contribution [message #452317]

Hi.

I programmatically added some commands by doing

LayoutResultGraphAction layoutResultGraphAction = new LayoutResultGraphAction();
service.activateHandler("org.pubcurator.core.commands.option1 ", new ActionHandler(Option1Action));

and added those as sub menus to a toolbar pulldown menu contribution as radio buttons.

They show up correctly, but I don't know how to check them when clicked.
A option1Action.setChecked(true) does nothing.

How do I do that?

Regards,
Kai

AFAIK it won't link up a toggle or radio action with a menu contribution.
To support toggle or radio menu contributions you need to write a handler
that can implement org.eclipse.ui.commands.IElementUpdater

It has a method that will be called for each UIElement, and supports
setChecked(*)

See:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_Command_Framework
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menu_Contributions#Example_Matrix

The examples need to be updated to show they understand State support
(early activation is no longer necessary to maintain the checked state
across restarts).

Thanks Paul.

I also just found that blog entry
http://blog.eclipse-tips.com/2009/03/commands-part-6-toggle- radio-menu.html
I think I will from now on directly use Handlers (I even don't know why I only used Actions until now).

Kai

As mentioned I now tried it with RadioState like described in that blog entry:
http://blog.eclipse-tips.com/2009/03/commands-part-6-toggle- radio-menu.html

I added the command:

<command
id="org.pubcurator.core.commands.setLayoutAlgorithm"
name="Set Layout Algorithm">
<commandParameter
id="org.eclipse.ui.commands.radioStateParameter"
name="State"
optional="false">
</commandParameter>
<state
class="org.eclipse.ui.handlers.RadioState:state1"
id="org.eclipse.ui.commands.radioState">
</state>
</command>

and added the menu item:

<menuContribution
locationURI="menu:org.pubcurator.core.menus.layoutResultGraph ">
<command
commandId="org.pubcurator.core.commands.setLayoutAlgorithm"
label="Layout Algorithm A"
style="radio">
<parameter
name="org.eclipse.ui.commands.radioStateParameter"
value="state1">
</parameter>
</command>
</menuContribution>

I would assume now that this would be enough to check that menu item by default (parameter value is
the same as state value), but it is not checked. Did I understand the RadioState thing wrong?
I also tried a HandlerUtil.updateRadioState(event.getCommand(), "state1"); in my programmatically
provided Handler, but still ... the menu item is not checked :-(

Kai

Here my workaround, but I don't think that this is the way it should be. For me RadioState doesn't
work on it's own.

private class SetLayoutAlgorithmHandler extends AbstractHandler implements IElementUpdater {

@Override
public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
String state = event.getParameter(RadioState.PARAMETER_ID);
HandlerUtil.updateRadioState(event.getCommand(), state);

// Do what has to be done.

return null;
}

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Override
public void updateElement(UIElement element, Map parameters) {
String state = (String) parameters.get(RadioState.PARAMETER_ID);
ICommandService service = (ICommandService)
element.getServiceLocator().getService(ICommandService.class );
State commandState =
service.getCommand("org.pubcurator.core.commands.setLayoutAlgorithm ").getState(RadioState.STATE_ID);
if (commandState.getValue().equals(state)) {
element.setChecked(true);
}
}
}

Are you activating the handler yourself, or including it from a plugin.xml? From the plugin.xml it should go through org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.HandlerProxy.updateElement( UIElement, Map) which should handle the checked state for you.

If it is not, please open a bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=E4&c omponent=UI
