I am adding menu items using the <dynamic> tag under <menu>. My dynamic class extends CompoundContributionItem and creates a dozen CommandContributionItems in the getContributionItems() function. Depending on state, some of these items created should be greyed out. I have tried multiple ways of doing this, and each way instead of becoming greyed out, they just don't show up in my menu.
Here are the ways I have tried:
1. Overriding methods on CommandContributionItem:
CommandContributionItem item = new CommandContributionItem(...) {
@Override
public boolean isEnabled() {
return customEnabled;
}
}
2. When that caused the item to not show up in the menu, I tried this as well:
CommandContributionItem item = new CommandContributionItem(...) {
@Override
public boolean isEnabled() {
return customEnabled;
}
@Override
public boolean isVisible() {
return true;
}
}
3. That still didn't work, so I tried out using a different command for the items that shouldn't be enabled. My different command's handler was simple:
public class DisabledHandler extends AbstractHandler {
/*
* (non-Javadoc)
*
* @see
* org.eclipse.core.commands.IHandler#execute(org.eclipse.core.commands.
* ExecutionEvent)
*/
@Override
public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
return null;
}
@Override
public void setEnabled(Object evaluationContext) {
setBaseEnabled(false);
}
@Override
public boolean isEnabled() {
return false;
}
}
That still just caused the items to not be visible. I'm all out of things to try. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Max

provide a "disabled" handler how? Commands have handlers, and the
handlers are responsible for the enabled state. The active handler for
that command (and there can only be one handler active for a command at
a given time) determines the state by calling setBaseEnabled(*) so that
state change events are generated. The state applies to everywhere that
Command is used.
I created 2 commands, one with an enabled handler and one with a
disabled handler. Then I used "dynamic" to add CCIs to a submenu:
protected IContributionItem[] getContributionItems() {
CommandContributionItemParameter p1 = new CommandContributionItemParameter(
locator, "one", "z.ex.cmpd.en",
CommandContributionItem.STYLE_PUSH);
CommandContributionItemParameter p2 = new CommandContributionItemParameter(
locator, "two", "z.ex.cmpd.dis",
CommandContributionItem.STYLE_PUSH);
CommandContributionItemParameter p3 = new CommandContributionItemParameter(
locator, "three", "z.ex.cmpd.en",
CommandContributionItem.STYLE_PUSH);
CommandContributionItemParameter p4 = new CommandContributionItemParameter(
locator, "four", "z.ex.cmpd.dis",
CommandContributionItem.STYLE_PUSH);
CommandContributionItemParameter p5 = new CommandContributionItemParameter(
locator, "five", "z.ex.cmpd.en",
CommandContributionItem.STYLE_PUSH);
IContributionItem[] items = new IContributionItem[] {
new CommandContributionItem(p1),
new CommandContributionItem(p2),
new CommandContributionItem(p3),
new CommandContributionItem(p4),
new CommandContributionItem(p5), };
return items;
}
This worked fine, and the z.ex.cmpd.dis menu entries were disabled. Is
there anything in your error log? Or barring that, step through an
update(String) of one of your disabled CommandContributionItem.
