Adding a predefined popup menu to a TreeViewer without an id [message #631686]

Hi again,

I have unfortunately another problem that I'm at the moment not able to solve.
An already existing plugin provides a view (extension point: org.eclipse.ui.views). There are also extension points for
org.eclipse.ui.commands, org.eclipse.ui.handlers and org.eclipse.ui.menus. To add a popup menu to the view isn't a big deal.
It is possible to define a menuContribution and the locationURI points to the view id. - so far everything is fine and understood.

In addition to that view, I have another use case and I need to open a dialog. This dialog should look and behave almost as the view. The only difference is that only a subset of the context menu entries should be visible.

The dialog contains of a TreeViewer. To this TreeViewer I set the already a ContentProvider, LabelProvider, and Input. The only missing part is the context menu.

As mentioned commands and handlers exist. I need to define my own menu, but my TreeView does not have an id so I can't use: "popup:<view-id>?before=additions".

What would you do to get these already defined handlers to you own view?
Thank you in advance. I look forward to your ideas.
Adrian

If you use a MenuManager to create your context menu, you can still use
org.eclipse.ui.menus.IMenuService.populateContributionManage r(ContributionManager,
String) and
org.eclipse.ui.menus.IMenuService.releaseContributions(Contr ibutionManager)

When you populate that menu manager, you get to specify the ID.

Thank you that worked fine.
The menuContribution that I'm reusing has some commands, and these commands have conditions as "visibleWhen" and than an "iterate" element. This iterate element seems to get an empty Collection that means that the selection is not contributed.

I thought that I need do add a SelectionProvider.
Well if I'm looking the View-Implementation that this code adds the selection Provider:

private TreeViewer viewer;
...
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
   ...
   getSite().setSelectionProvider(viewer);
   ...

with

    public IWorkbenchPartSite getSite() {
        return partSite;
    }

Can I provide a SelectionProvider for a org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog?
My code looks currently like this


	protected Control createDialogArea(final Composite parent) {
		final Composite composite = (Composite) super.createDialogArea(parent);
		composite.getShell().setSize(composite.getShell().computeSize(400, 200));
		composite.setLayout(new FillLayout());

		viewer = new TreeViewer(composite, SWT.SINGLE | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL);
		viewer.setContentProvider( new WXContentProvider() );
		IDecoratorManager decoratorManager = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getDecoratorManager();
		viewer.setLabelProvider(new DecoratingLabelProvider(new WXLabelProvider(), decoratorManager.getLabelDecorator()));
		viewer.setSorter(new WXViewerSorter());
		viewer.setInput(WorkspaceManager.getInstance().getCurrentWorkspace());

		final MenuManager menuMgr = new MenuManager();
		menuMgr.setRemoveAllWhenShown(true);
		IMenuService menuService = (IMenuService) PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService(IMenuService.class);
		menuService.populateContributionManager(menuMgr, "popup:<view-id>");
		viewer.getControl().setMenu(menuMgr.createContextMenu(viewer.getControl()));

		parent.pack();
		return composite;
	}

Thank you, Adrian

By default no, dialog is not integrated into the window/part based
variables provides.

You could either 1) use property testers in the dialog, which could
query the dialog selection or 2) provide a DialogSelectionSourceProvider
through org.eclipse.ui.services. Then use that as a variable in your
context menu.

Would you be able to expand a little bit on option 2 please?
