Hello

I have a Tree Viewer and am trying to add a context menu. I have
followed the example in "Contributing Actions to the Eclipse Workbench"

I have added the following to plugin.xml

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
<view
name="Account"
allowMultiple="false"
icon="icons/logo-16-16.gif"
class="com.wcg.catalyst.common.designer.parts.AccountView"
id="com.wcg.catalyst.common.designer.parts.AccountView">
</view>
</extension>

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
<viewerContribution
id="com.wcg.catalyst.common.designer.popup.accountViewer"
targetID="com.wcg.catalyst.common.designer.parts.AccountView ">
<action

id=" com.wcg.catalyst.common.designer.controller.OpenDiagramActio n "
label="Open"
menubarPath="additions"

class=" com.wcg.catalyst.common.designer.controller.OpenDiagramActio n "/>
</viewerContribution>
</extension>

OpenDiagramAction extends Action and implements IViewActionDelegate

The Tree viewer displays the model but using right click has no effect

Is there something else I should be doing

Thanks

Mike

The section you want is:

http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-action-contribution/ index.html#Developer:%20Allowing%20action%20contribution%20t o%20your

That talks about the code portion of your context menu. For an example,
check out ResourceNavigator#initContextMenu() in the org.eclipse.ui.ide
plugin.

It was adding the Menu Listener to the Menu Manager that I missed.

I now have the context menu appearing with my new menu items.

There is one bit that puzzles me, in the action the documentation refers
to the run(IAction action) method. This does not get fired when the menu
item is selected, however the run() method does

Cheers

run() or run(Event) is called if you programmatically place an Action
subclass in an MenuManager or ToolBarManager.

run(IAction) is called if you use an extension point to create a menu or
toolbar item ... since it's actually an IActionDelegate.
