eclipse 3.3 - problem attaching a command to a context menu using org.eclipse.ui.menus extension poi [message #319865]

Hi All,

I am having a problem attaching a command to a context menu using the
org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point. The command is not being shown on the
context menu of the editor. I was able to attach the command fine when I
specified menu:.... and toolbar:.... in the locationURI. Below is the xml
for the menus extension point. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Jim

Hello James,

I had the same problem until I registered a contextMenu within my view
with the following:

private void initializeMenu() {
MenuManager menuManager = new MenuManager("#PopupMenu");
Menu menu =
menuManager.createContextMenu(tableViewer.getControl());
tableViewer.getControl().setMenu(menu);
getSite().registerContextMenu(menuManager, tableViewer);
}

It all worked fine after that but I don't know whether it is possible to
do popups using the menu extension alone without a registered
contextMenu or if so how to do it.

James,

You have to register a context menu before you can use the menu extension.

I've got a summary of resources for using the menu extension that should be
of help.

I plugged your XML into a plugin and it showed up in the text editor
context menu fine.

Are you writing your own editor? (other posters have given advice about
registering a context menu).

Later,

Hi Paul,

I am not writting my own editor so I didn't register a context menu.

I plugged the XML into a different plug-in after I saw your reply and I also
saw the context menu fine. I went back to my initial plug-in and noticed
that I was refering to an invaild command id in the command element inside
the menu element. I fixed that and all worked well there also.

I appreciate all the replies and information.

Thanks,
Jim
