Hi. I've tried using my plug-in in Motif version of Eclipse and it seems,
that Motif can't create popup menus. I've tried to create simple Text()
field which has default popup menu with items like Copy, Paste, Cut, etc,
but when I'm trying to invoke it with right-mouse button, nothing happens.
Same with Combo() which is most vital for my project.
CODE:
Combo entry = new Combo(parent, SWT.DROP_DOWN);
Menu popup = new Menu(entry.getShell(), SWT.POP_UP);
MenuItem test = new MenuItem(popup, SWT.PUSH);
test.setText("test item");
entry.setMenu(popup);
// creates combo box with popup menu (activated by rmb click) containing
item 'test item'
// this works ok in Windows | Linux/GTK
Any idea how to make popup menu working in Linux/Motif Eclipse?
Thanks!
PS: Please excuse my lame english.

Hi Martin,
You're probably using the wrong trigger to show the context menu when
testing. Context menus on motif are shown by right-mouse-button-down and
then HOLDING it down; once you right-mouse-button-up then the context menu
will go away.
I've verified that
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
works for me in motif, and I also tried replacing its two Composites with a
Combo and Text, which also worked. If you cannot get this snippet to work
for you then please follow up.
