Hi all...
I'm attempting to implement a very high level capability for DTP to meet a
Galileo Must Do and have it working except where menu items are being
provided by action providers using the Common Navigator Framework (CNF).
Does anyone know if the CNF supports capabilities?
My simple capability filter takes care of 90% of all menu items (contributed
using popup menu contributions, etc), views, and perspectives. But it
doesn't seem to catch those few menus provided by the action providers.
Just curious. I can file a bug if need be. Or if it's something I'm doing
(like not providing an appropriate action ID), I can try to fix that.
Thanks in advance!

Understood that the framework doesn't provide actions directly. But I have
an action provider that's providing a number of actions programmatically to
the Data Source Explorer (also based on the CNF).
Even when I explicitly set the ID of the action to something that should be
filtered out by the capability, it doesn't catch it.
Does it depend on where (or when) the ID for the action created in the
action provider is created?
Or should it filter out the action provider by ID?

I'm going to have to get some help with this because I don't understand
how the capability mechanism actually filters the actions. I can't find
any code in the CNF that does it. Let me find some platform UI person
who is smarter than me to ask.

I have talked with the smart people and done my own research, and seems
the there are some changes that need to be made to make this work.
Please file a bug about this.
Thanks!
