| Command Framework in custom editor [message #334648] |

Hello,
I have build a custom editor (based on a TreeViewer) with a context menu
that is currently generated programatically. After converting some other
part of my code to use the command framework, I'd like to use the
command framework in my editor as well. However I was unable to find any
information, as to how I might declaratively specify the commands.
Documentation on ECF appears to be a bit thin anyway (one wiki page that
I know of). Where can I look for further reading about context menus in
custom editors?
As an added complication: there is one submenu that has to be created
programmatically at runtime (using model data). Can this be achieved
when using ECF?
Regards
Damian Philipp

Hello,
thank you for your reply.

I have seen those sites already. They were very helpful in integrating
commands in other popup menus (namely that of the Project Explorer).
But they don't say anything about how to get popup menus working on
custom parts.

This on the other hand was very helpful. For future reference, the
following code enabled PCF popup menus on the viewer in my editor:
MenuManager contextMenu = new MenuManager();
contextMenu.setRemoveAllWhenShown(true);
getSite().registerContextMenu(contextMenu, viewer);
Control control = viewer.getControl();
Menu menu = contextMenu.createContextMenu(control);
control.setMenu(menu);
Perhaps this could be added to the wiki?
Now there is just one other problem - other plugin contributions are
showing up on my editor, where it just doesn't make any sense. Example:
How do you create a "Run configuration" for a string that you are about
to translate?
Oh well, after all this digging I might just have to go back to
programatically creating actions.
But thanks to you anyway!
