| Context menu in SelectionTreeView [message #1703761] |

Have worked to this point with savable TreeViews. Due to the multiple kinds of EMF resources I have for a project I now need to use SelectionTreeView instead.
I see that there are no context menus on the EMF elements visualized in a SelectionTreeView. Is there a way to add the menus?

Hi John
Francesco was referring to the section "Contextual Menu" not to the
"Menu Builder"; the custom menu builder you implemented is fine, but in
Parsley we automatically set context menus only on viewers inside a
"saveable view", not the ones inside "on selection views"; this is
because saveable views act on a resource and are meant to be editable,
while on selection views are usually used in read-only mode (at least,
we found this default behavior sensible :)
If you want the context menu on a viewer (inside any view that is not a
saveable one), you need to setup it yourself with the Java lines
documented in the section "Contextual Menu"; you also need to override
menuAboutToShow; you may want to have a look at
http://git.eclipse.org/c/emf-parsley/org.eclipse.emf-parsley.git/tree/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.parsley.views.common/src/org/eclipse/emf/parsley/views/AbstractSaveableViewerView.java
which is how we setup the context menu on saveable views.
As Francesco said, we're working on making this API much easier to use
and it should only take fewer lines to have a context menu on a viewer
(even without menuAboutToShow).
Please let us know if this fixes your problem.
cheers
Lorenzo

Great! :)
please, keep an eye on
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=455727 which should
simplify the overall process.

Hi
Please have a look at the new release 0.5.0 which is already available,
and at the updated documentation (and migration guide). The procedure
is much simpler now :)
cheers
