question on visible when for command [message #334962]

I all ... I'm using eclipse 3.3 - the question is about a command.

I need to enable a command in my popup menu when the selected object is of a
particular type (adapt) and the item as got a property set (example delete
= true)

ok the first part about the object type ...

<visibleWhen>
<with variable="activeMenuSelection">
<iterate>
<adapt
type="xxx.yyy.files.eom.IEOMObjectItem">
</adapt>
</iterate>
</with>
</visibleWhen>

HOW TO ENABLE THE CHECK OF THE PROPERTY ...
with actionset I could use the ObjectState property ... I believe that here
I should use the test property ... but I don't know how to use it
Thanks
Kar

Right, you would use adapt and then test:
<adapt type="xxx.yyy.files.eom.IEOMObjectItem">
<test property="com.example.myObj.delete" value="true"/>
</adapt>

You contribute property testers using the
org.eclipse.core.expressions.propertyTesters extension point and a
subclass of org.eclipse.core.expressions.PropertyTester
