ActionSet enablement ? [message #406799]

Hi,

I would like to add Menus and MenuItems intoPerspective in using
actionSet rather than using WorkbenchAdvisor way with contributions ...

But to enable or disable the MenuItems, I need to perform a method
(boolean computeEnablement() ) to check user rigths and so on...

I do not want this method called on selectionChanged but called when
the menu is opened.

I have only read some criteria for actionSet to deal with enablement :
enableFor + enablement objectClass ....
I am a bit confused because it seems not to suit my needs.

Does anyone know how to do that ?

I have done it like this:

WorkbenchWindow workbenchWindow = get Workbench Window in Your way....

String mainMenuText = "menu label You set in actionSet in plugin.xml"
String subMenuText = "action label You set for subMenu"

MenuManager manager = workbenchWindow.getMenuManager();
MenuItem[] items = manager.getMenu().getItems();
for (int i = 0; i < items.length; i++){
MenuItem item = items[i];
if (item.getText().equals(mainMenuText)){
MenuItem[] subItems = item.getMenu().getItems();
for (int j = 0; j < subItems.length; j++){
MenuItem subItem = subItems[j];
if (subItem.getText().equals(subMenuText)){
subItem.setEnabled('THERE YOU SHOULD PUT METHOD WHICH
COMPUTE MENU ENABLING');
}
}
}
}

Maybe it is not the best way but it works for me :)
