Hi,

I've a problem with creating sub-menu in a pop-up menu. I've created a command extension point, which represents a simply button. In the createPartControl() method of my own View I have a code like this:

MenuManager menuManager = new MenuManager();
Menu menu = menuManager.createContextMenu(viewer.getControl());
viewer.getControl().setMenu(menu);
getSite().registerContextMenu(menuManager, viewer);

Now, it shows pop-up menu with the push button defined in command extension point. It's fine. But there comes my problem. I have a ContributionItem object which represents a Menu object with 3 radio buttons. I would like to insert this object in the menu above, and futhermore in it's own submenu like this:

CommandButton
Zoom menu    > radioButton 1
               radioButton 2
               radioButton 3

How can I do it?

Thanks

Hi Stranger,

Use the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point to add a menu into your context
menu. Then add commands to your menu like you did before but take a look at
the style which can be defined it the menus extension point as well. Set the
style to radio.

id="add.item"
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.ui.popup.any?after=additions ">
<command
commandId="someorg.someid.someCommand"
icon="icons/anything.gif"
id="someorg.someid.BasicCmdItem"
label="Simple Item"
style="radio"
mnemonic="S">
</command>
</menuContribution>
</extension>
