Need help to get ContextMenu for Shell Trim [message #328612]

Hello,
I have a SashForm in my application, the left site of the SashForm is a
Composite, and it contains several TableViewer for easy navigation, I
just call it ShellTrim; On the right site of the SashForm, I have a
perspective with one or more views. I used eclipse 3.3 context menu
declare mechanism to declare a context menu for my views. The context
menu works well for the views.

I want the same context menu show up when I right mouse click on an item
from a TableViewer of ShellTrim. Since my ShellTrim is not a view, I
cannot register any context menu for it; and for some reason, I cannot
make it a view. Now, I have no idea how to hook the context menu with
my ShellTrim's TableViewer. I really appreciate any help and hint.

Thanks a lot !

You might be able to create your own MenuManager and use the
IMenuService to populate it. If your view has any programmatic
contributions, you'll have to figure out a way to share those manually.

The one thing that won't work (at least not well) is standard object
contributions. Although if your view and ShellTrim were always open,
you can figure out a way for the view to provide ShellTrim with its own
separate context menu
