Hi,

I was testing the DesktopExtension mechanisms which work fairly nice for outlines and Menus at least!
Unfortunately I can't find any reference on how to contribute with a sub menu. Is it possible?

Regards
João

Hi Joao

You can use the extension point org.eclipse.scout.rt.extension.client.menus to add sub menus to existing menus.


  • Add org.eclipse.scout.rt.extension.client.menus to the dependencies of your plugin.
  • Add an extension to the extension point org.eclipse.scout.rt.extension.client.menus.
  • Select menuContribution.
  • Select the menu you want to add.
  • Use parentMenu to select the menu you want to attach the new menu to.


The new menu...
should extend org.eclipse.scout.rt.client.ui.action.menu.AbstractMenu.

The parent menu...
has to extend org.eclipse.scout.rt.extension.client.ui.action.menu.AbstractExtensibleMenu. This class has the method injectActionNodesInternal which adds the new menu.
Thus, a menu that does not extend AbstractExtensibleMenu cannot be extended using the extension point. This has to be considered when programming a core application that is intended to be extended.

Cheers

Silvio

Hi Silvio,

Thanks for help!
Just tested it in SWT rendering and its working fine!

Unfortunately for RAP it doesn't seem to work, although the DesktopExtension works.
Is it something not working on RAP? or may I be doing something wrong?

Regards
João

Hi Joao

It should work for RAP and SWT with exactly the same code. I don't know about an issue on RAP.

In RAP, it looks like this (added the menu "Info" to the existing menu "File"):

index.php/fa/17517/0/

I checked it on Kepler and Luna M5 Release.
Which release are you using? Is the plugin contributing the new menu active?
