remove items from contex menu [message #526997]

Hi,
my rcp application has it's own editor inherited from TextEditor. I add actions to context menu. But I cannot remove the items like: "Team","Show In","Compare With","Replace With". I tried to do it with "org.eclipse.ui.activities" but without success.
What is wrong? Thanks, Stella

<extension
	point="org.eclipse.ui.activities">
	<category
    	name="Filter GUI Category"
    	id="category.excludeFromGUI">
	</category>
	<categoryActivityBinding
   		activityId="activity.excludeFromGUI"
   		categoryId="category.excludeFromGUI">
	</categoryActivityBinding>
	<activity
		name = "Exclude GUI"
		description="Exclude GUI"
		id="activity.excludeFromGUI">
	</activity>			
				
	<activityPatternBinding
		activityId="activity.excludeFromGUI"
		pattern="org\.eclipse\..*update">
	</activityPatternBinding>
	<activityPatternBinding
		activityId="activity.excludeFromGUI"
		pattern="org\.eclipse\.compare.*">
	</activityPatternBinding>
	<activityPatternBinding
		activityId="activity.excludeFromGUI"
		pattern="org\.eclipse\.team\.ui\.showLocalHistory">
	</activityPatternBinding>	
	<activityPatternBinding
		activityId="activity.excludeFromGUI"
		pattern="org\.eclipse\.team\.ui.*">
	</activityPatternBinding>
	<activityPatternBinding
		activityId="activity.excludeFromGUI"
		pattern="org\.eclipse\.team\.cvs\.ui.*">
	</activityPatternBinding>		
 </extension>

AFAIK org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus don't support activities. I couldn't
find any reference from
org.eclipse.ui.activities.WorkbenchActivityHelper in the
ObjectContributionManager code.

Thanks for response. What is the right way to remove context menu items?

My guess is if you can't do it with activities, then you won't be able
to do it at all. If you create the view yourself then you control the
context menu. If your menu has no MB_ADDITIONS group marker then
popupMenus won't add objectContributions.

My application editor is inherited from TextEditor. I try to clean a context menu items of the application editor, that I don't need in my rcp application.

Hello,

A solution is to subclass:

protected String[] collectContextMenuPreferencePages()

Regards,

Tanguy

another option would be to simply register another Menu with the site.

I couldn't find any clean way to do this, but I was able to remove the Show in context menu item in the following way.

In your own Editor class, override the

editorContextMenuAboutToShow(IMenuManager menu)

method. I added the following code to my Editor's method and it removed the Show in menu.

 @Override
	protected void editorContextMenuAboutToShow(IMenuManager menu)
	{   	
		super.editorContextMenuAboutToShow(menu);
		
		//Look for show ins menu
		IContributionItem[] items = menu.getItems();
		for (int i = 0; i < items.length; i++)
		{
			if (items[i] instanceof IMenuManager)
			{
				IMenuManager submenu = (IMenuManager)items[i];
				IContributionItem testShowIn = submenu.find(ContributionItemFactory.VIEWS_SHOW_IN.getId());
				//If menu is found then remove this submenu from the context menu
				if (testShowIn != null)
					menu.remove(submenu);
			}
		}
	}

It works fine and so far I haven't come across any repercussions but it is not a very clean fix.

In Luna (4.4) I managed to remove the items by adding this line at the end of my editor's menuAboutToShow method:

ObjectActionContributorManager.getManager().unregisterAllContributors();
