Hi,

I'm developping an RCP application and I don't understand the
commandParameter item under the org.eclipse.ui.commands extension point.
I tried to follow the problem view example but my dynamic menu remains
grayed.

Can someone help me?

A command definition can specify the command takes a parameter.
showView is like that, you can execute the showView command with an ID.

A keybinding or org.eclipse.ui.menus command can specify a parameter to
execute with ... for example ALT+SHIFT+Q C is showView(id=Console)
(pseudo-code).

parameters have no impact on the enabled/disable state of the command,
however.

How are you creating your "dynamic menu"? How are you instantiating a
command with a parameter?

Thanks a lot for your help.
The problem came from the name of the parameter that was false.
