Contributing to GEF Context menu [message #82079]

Hi,

I'm trying to work out how to use plugin extensions to add contributions to
the context menu that comes up in the GEF diagram. Is this possible? If so,
could someone direct me to the documentation to do it?

So far, I've tried the objectContribution extension, using edit parts as the
objectClass, and also the class of the editor that registers the context
menu, to no avail.

Any help much appreciated,
Bradley.

P.S. This is what I've tried so far:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
<objectContribution
id="myId"

objectClass="org.eclipse.gef.editparts.AbstractGraphicalEditPart ">
...
</objectContribution>
</extension>

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
<viewerContribution id="myId"
targetID="org.eclipse.gef.examples.logicdesigner.LogicEditor ">
....
</viewerContribution>
</extension>

There is another step required in the code that created the MenuManager.
The logic editor does not register its menus for contribution, I don't
believe.

That's right. The constructor for org.eclipse.gef.ContextMenuProvider only
allows an EditPartViewer as a parameter. I can't find out how to set the id
for the menu (which is private to MenuManager and only seems to be settable
through construction). Is there a way to set the ID?

You do not need to set the ID. I think this is only for submenus? Use:
IWorkbenchtPartSite#registerContextMenu (ID, menu, provider);

Hey, do you Randy Pausch? He was one of my professors.

Hi,

in your GraphicalEditor implementation register the menu with the editor's site:

        @Override
	protected void configureGraphicalViewer() {
		super.configureGraphicalViewer();

		final GraphicalViewer graphicalViewer = getGraphicalViewer();

		// Context menu
		ContextMenuProvider provider = new YourContextMenuProvider(graphicalViewer, getActionRegistry());
		graphicalViewer.setContextMenu(provider);
		getSite().registerContextMenu(provider, graphicalViewer);
        }

in your context provider implementation you have to add standard action groups:

        @Override
	public void buildContextMenu(IMenuManager manager) {
		GEFActionConstants.addStandardActionGroups(manager);
                ...
        }

Then you can easily add menu contribution using as follows:

<extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
      <menuContribution
            locationURI="popup:idOfYourEditor?after=org.eclipse.gef.group.save">
         <command
               commandId="org.eclipse.ui.file.save"
               style="push">
         </command>
      </menuContribution>
      <menuContribution
            locationURI="popup:idOfYourEditor?after=additions">
         <command
               commandId="someCommandId"
               style="push">
         </command>
      </menuContribution>
</extension>

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. Sorry myself new to this. Kindly clarify below doubts.

In buildContextmenu in mycontextProvider, how to add palette tools into that.

In plugin.xml
<command
commandId="someCommandId"
style="push">
</command>
what commandId need to be given and from where. And how it is being used.

Note: My requirement is to bring Palette tools into the GEF editor on user mouse click, as like GMF and graphiti ie show in attached image. Kindly refer it. Is it possible?

Thanks & Regards,

Wow, it looks nice, the tools are shown when right click on the editPart?

They did it, so it must be possible:) But I don't know how. You are free to look at the source code of the graphiti.

As of adding tools from the palette to the context menu, look at this

Hi,

If you got any idea or code. Kindly help me in this.

Requirement: we can implement gmf or graphiti class in our GEF Plugin to achieve this functionality.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

It is done by slightly modifying the DiagramPopupBarEditPolicy in GMF. I got that image popup. Now myself need to show the menu on left click of icons in that popup. Can anyone tell me, how to create a menu as like context menu with custom icons in the mouse left click of popup bar icons.

Hi,

Finally i achieved the above concept using PromptForConnectionAndEndCommand in org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.commands package. It has been altered corresponding to GEF and used.

Hi,

In my editor, I created tree edit part. In that modelChildren method, i override as following

getModelChildren()
{
List result = new ArrayList();
result.add(component1);
result.add(component2);

return result;
}

my problem is, when i add shapes in editor in following order

component2 - 1
component1 - 1
component2 - 2
component1 - 2

but in my tree view it exist as follows

component1 - 1
component1 - 2
component2 - 1
component2 - 2

Kindly suggest any solution for this.

Thanks & Regards,
Karthikeyan.B
