Get a command id from within a handler? [message #645197]

Hi Folks,

we use the command id plus a suffix for the translation of our GUI.

For example:

commandId = "com.company.package.commands.mycommand"
suffix1 = ".label"
suffix2 = ".tooltip"

So we concatenate the commandId and several suffixes to get an unique translationId.

The handler implements IElementUpdater and extends AbstractHandler

The idea is to get the commandId from within a handler to set the text to an UIElement in the updateElement method.

For example:

String commandId = commandIdGettingMechanism(this);
String tooltipText = translationMechanism(commandId + suffix1);

element.setTooltip(tooltipText);

The question now is:
Is there a way to do it?

Is a registry of all handlers with their commands a good way to implement this? Any ideas?

Greetings
Stefan R.

You can get the command from the ExecutionEvent passed as a parameter
to the handler.execute() method

Hmm yeah I know, but the problem is, that the handler.execute() method is called, when you fire the command and normally it's done by an user interaction. I want to decorate the UIElement before the command is fired...

May be this would work. Make your handler implement
IExecutableExtension and in the plugin.xml when you declare the handler,
pass on the command id as the data.
