How to add custom menu item to the windows popup menu in a Text? [message #735212]

I am trying to add a custom menu item to the windows popup menu which is shown when you right click on the Text widget, but it seems that I can't get the menu using getMenu() or even with MenuDetectListener, both of these approaches returns null.

I can perhaps use setMenu() and implement my own, but the platform dependent menu item would be all gone, and I have no idea if there's any graceful way to reuse them.

Thanks in advance!

As you've discovered, you can't. You only get the window menu when you don't set your own. Once you set your own menu, you are responsible for the entire menu.
