Hello Everyone,

I want to add save menu to my RCP product.
in ApplicationActionBarAdvisor I add folling code:

@Override
protected void makeActions(IWorkbenchWindow window) {
file_saveFileAction= ActionFactory.SAVE.create(window);
register(file_saveFileAction);
}

@Override
protected void fillMenuBar(IMenuManager menuBar) {
MenuManager fileMenu = new MenuManager("&File", Menus.File.name());
menuBar.add(fileMenu);
fileMenu.add(file_saveFileAction);
}

but the save menu is always unenabled. could someone please help me?

Hi, Kai.

I think the Save action is wired into the Editor framework and will be automatically enabled if you have an open Editor with unsaved changes. You didn't indicate in what context you expected the Save to be enabled.

At least in the applications I've done, what you have done should work correctly when you have Editor support and a "dirty" Editor.

Check whether IEditorPart.isDirty() returns true.

Hi Millard and Prakash

thanks for your replay, now my isDirty() returns always true. the save menu works. I also add a saveAs menu and I want to save a file at a new position. but when I click the saveAs menu, it did nothing. what should I do now?

Did you implement doSaveAs() in your EditorPart? Does a breakpoint in that code _not_ get hit when you invoke Save As...? Just like you have to implement doSave() in order for Save to work, you have to implement doSaveAs() if you want Save As... to work.
