Hi Raushan,

I think you need to use the extension of the popupmenu in the plugin.xml

and need to give the object contribution for the popup menu...

Object contribution in the sense...

your tree items will of some partiuclar class ... assume your top node of
the tree is of type A and other elements of the type B.

In the popupmenu contribution you need to specify which kind of object
contribution you wanted .. ie whether your popupmenu should be invoked
when you right click either on elements of type A or of Type B.

If you want to invoke your popup menu on all the tree items.. then
create one interface X and all the treeitems ie the classes corresponding
to tree items implement the interface X.

Now in your object contribution you give the interface name .. in the
plugin.xml .

Now on all your treeitems your popup menu can be invoked....

Regards,

Zakir

hi jakir,
thanks for reply.but i am new to the editor.using since 1 month
only.can you explain a bit how to get the context menu when right
clicking on the node of tree.

as i am doing it programatically .like creating menumanger and then using
the getContextMenu() of menuManager class.but it is not working.is there
any way to do it programatically.

as previously you advised me by using extension points.i tried.but it's
not coming.may be that i am not doing it right way.so i still trying with
your suggestion.

please give some way to do it in detail.i am really trapped in this.

thanks
raushan

Hi Raushan,

you just add this code in the view where you are creating the treeviewer
...
and try to add the extension point of the popupmenu as what i had
suggested in previous mail...
private void hookContextMenu() {
MenuManager menuMgr = new MenuManager("#PopupMenu");
menuMgr.setRemoveAllWhenShown(true);
menuMgr.addMenuListener(new IMenuListener() {
public void menuAboutToShow(IMenuManager manager) {
(YOURVIEW).this.fillContextMenu(manager);
}
});
Menu menu = menuMgr.createContextMenu(tv.getControl());
tv.getControl().setMenu(menu);
getSite().registerContextMenu(menuMgr, tv);
}

private void fillContextMenu(IMenuManager manager) {
// Other plug-ins can contribute there actions here
// manager.add(openClose);
manager.add(new Separator(IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS));
}

You contact me on my personal id.... zakir.hussain@in.bosch.com... we can
discuss it further...

And can you tell me some thing about u like where u r working .. ie in
which company.. and which place in the world
