Hi everyone,

I didn't manage to enable print menu item in the main menu. I would be grateful if someone could help me and point out the reason of it.

Here what I did:
- created a handler and associated it with the org.eclipse.ui.file.print command (I didn't specify any enablement rules. Though, sampleCommand works in such configuration. Why does not the print command work like that?)
- using the org.eclipse.ui.menu extension point, put the org.eclipse.ui.file.print command in the main menu
- registered ActionFactory.PRINT in the application's ActionBarAdvisor.

Thanks in advance

This only works along with an open textual editor.

Yes, it probably does. I've found out today that calling site.getActionBars().setGlobalActionHandler() in, for instance, an editor with print action as an argument will probably enable the menu item. But it's still unclear to me how it should be deregisterd after the editor is closed.
Thanks for the hint.
