Show View menu in RCP [message #436016] Mon, 29 August 2005 21:52 Go to next message

How do I add Window/Show View menu to my RCP app? I just want to view PDE
and PDE runtime submenus.

I did the following.

MenuManager windowMenu = new MenuManager("&Window",
IWorkbenchActionConstants.M_WINDOW);
menuBar.add(windowMenu);
windowMenu.add(showViewAction);

where as my showViewAction is
IWorkbenchAction showViewAction =
ActionFactory.SHOW_VIEW_MENU.create(window);

My RCP app's Window has Show View Menu (not just Show View) submenu which
is grayed out.

Thank you for any help.

I did this:

In the action bar advisor's makeActions():

showViewMenuMgr = new MenuManager("Show View", "showView");
showViewItem =
ContributionItemFactory.VIEWS_SHORTLIST.create(window);

In the action bar advisor's fillMenuBar():

MenuManager windowMenu = new MenuManager("&Window",
IWorkbenchActionConstants.M_WINDOW);
showViewMenuMgr.add(showViewItem);
windowMenu.add(showViewMenuMgr);

Thanks for the tip. Now I see Window/Show View menu enabled. But when I
click on Show View /Other.., I get the Show View window but it has only
View. How do I get PDE/PDE Rutime items in the Show View popup window?

Have you deployed the org.eclipse.pde.* plugins and all of their
dependancies in your RCP app?
