Hi,
I have a couple of questions.
1. When i create a simple SWT Text control, and then right click on the text
control, i see about 6 actions: cut, copy, paste, selectall, delete and
undo. Where does those actions get added and their enabled state controlled?
2. When i use a StyledText control, and right click within the control, i do
not see any of the actions which we see for the Text control. Why is that
and is there a way for us to add that?
3. In our application, we use SWT widgets within a GEF canvas. When i am
within a Text or Styled Text control, i want to enable the menu actions
based the content of the clipboard. But, the workbench action's isEnabled()
method gets called only when the editorpart is activated.. Is there a way
for me to explicitly enable and disable these actions, when i am within the
Text or StyledText control? What i mean is when i copy something within the
StyledText (using CTRL->C), i want the paste action to get enabled as long i
am within the text control.. Seems like these actions only get
enabled/disabled only when the editorpart is activated
thanks,
-Ravi

I can only answer 1 and 2.
1. This menu is provided by the operating system. The menu is different on
each platform and the operating system controls the enabled state. You can
remove this menu but setting it to null (ie. text.setMenu(null)).
2. Since StyledText is not a native control. It doesn't have the menu.
