Undo in IE [message #900937]

Hi.

I noticed the undo action in the context menu of text fields has different enablement behaviour:
- in applications that use the Eclipse workbench, the undo action is always disabled.
- in plain RWT applications, the undo action is enabled (if there is anything to undo).

I suppose the action is not an Eclipse action, but a native browser action. But this doesn't explain, why the action works in one case but not in the other.

The problem occurs in IE only. In FF the undo action is also enabled for applications that use the Eclipse workbench. This can be reproduced with the RAP demos (http://eclipse.org/rap/demos/). In "RAP Examples" the undo action is enabled in IE, in "RAP Workbench Demo" it isn't.

Can anybody explain the difference or give a hint, how to get the undo action working for IE in applications that use the Eclipse workbench.

Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
the context menu of the text field is the "native" browser context menu
and RAP does not control its behavior in any way. If you type something
in the field the "Undo" menu item is enabled. If there are differences
between the browsers we can't do anything about it.
Best,
Ivan

Thanks for the quick answer.

I could understand if the IE doesn't provide the undo function at all.
What I don't understand is, why he provides it for plain RWT applications but not for applications that use the Eclipse workbench (which are based on RWT).

So it seems to be possible for IE to provide that action, but text fields in applications that use the Eclipse workbench seems to be different, what I think should not be the case.

Hmm, I can't reproduce the disabled action in IE with the "RAP Workbench Demo" any more. But in my own application it is still disabled.
It's really strange.

I think I have to dig into the problem a little bit deeper.
However, thank you Ivan.
