Hi,

I am working on Java UI Plug in development for Lotus notes. I want to add context menus based on the type of document that I have selected. Typically, different menus should be visible based on appointment, mail or contact document that I right click on.

I followed the Java UI exerciser and I noticed that an instance of "com.ibm.notes.java.ui.documents.NotesUIDocument" can find what document I currently am in. I followed the java UI exerciser project and it din't work for me. The menu always appears greyed out. And also, all the pop up menus added in the exerciser having an instance of com.ibm.notes.java.ui.documents.NotesUIDocument" is greyed out.

I attached a part of my plugin.xml related to this problem for your reference too.

<menuContribution
locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.ui.popup.any?after=additions"> <command
commandId="com.sap.sod.ln.shelf.addon.testmenu"
style="push">
<visibleWhen>
<count
value="1">
</count>
<iterate>
<instanceof
value="com.ibm.notes.java.ui.documents.NotesUIDocument">
</instanceof>
</iterate>
</visibleWhen>
</command>
</menuContribution>

<command
id="com.sap.sod.ln.shelf.addon.testmenu"
name="test menu">
</command>

<handler
class="com.sap.sod.ln.shelf.addon.contextmenu.TestClass"
commandId="com.sap.sod.ln.shelf.addon.testmenu">
<enabledWhen>
<iterate>
<instanceof
value="com.ibm.notes.java.ui.documents.NotesUIDocument">
</instanceof>
</iterate>
</enabledWhen>
<activeWhen>
<count
value="1">
</count>
</activeWhen>
</handler>
<handler
class="com.sap.sod.ln.shelf.addon.contextmenu.TestClass"
commandId="com.sap.sod.ln.shelf.addon.tool.tools">
</handler>

What if you insert a with element into your core expressions:

<visibleWhen>
<with variable="activeMenuSelection">
<count
value="1">
</count>
<iterate>
<instanceof
value="com.ibm.notes.java.ui.documents.NotesUIDocument">
</instanceof>
</iterate>
</with>
</visibleWhen>

Apply the same logic to your handler activeWhen (leave out the enabledWhen for now).
