I am adding commands to views using commands framework. I want to know how to add commands to menus/toolbars for specific views with a specific secondary id?

Hi Tankut,

a command itself is always independend from the UI(menus/toolbars).
It just defines certain command/action in an abstract way.

The thing you really can add to a View is a menu extension.
On that menuContribution in the plugin.xml you can add a visibleWhen flag, where you can define the conditions for showing the menuContribution.

          <visibleWhen
                checkEnabled="false">
            <with
                  variable="activePart">
               <test
                     property="link to your PropertyTester, which checks the secondary id of the activePart" args="specialSecondaryId1,specialSecondaryId2,specialSecondaryId3">
               </test>
            </with>
          </visibleWhen>


Your PropertyTester could be something like this:

public class SecondaryIdTester extends PropertyTester {

    
    @Override
    public boolean test(Object receiver, String property, Object[] args,
            Object expectedValue) {
        boolean testSucceeds = false;
        
        if(receiver instanceof YourView){
              String secondaryId = ((YourView)receiver).getViewSite().getSecondaryId();

            for(Object arg : args){
                 if(secondaryId.equals(arg)){
                      testSucceeds = true;
                 }
            } 
        }


        return testSucceeds;
    }
}


A good overview concerning the usage of PropertyTesters can be found here:

I hope this helps you and do not hesitate to ask again, if anything is unclear or you need further information.

Best regards,

Simon
