Can/Should a swt.widgets.List have a context menu? [message #445907]

How could a swt.widgets.List have a context menu? It is part of a
Viewpart. I don't see how to do it.

Is this a bad idea and unecessary?

thanks,
fred

See List.setMenu(Menu) (inherited from Control).

Hi Fred, sorry for the late response,

If you want to hook a context menu onto an swt List directly (ie.- not
through some eclipse extension point, etc.) then it should be no different
than for any other widget. For an example of this see
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet40.java?rev=HEAD&a mp;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup .
