HandledMenuItem / HandledToolItem from fragment always disabled [message #1258757]

I have a fragment.e4xmi that defines some commands and handlers and a part with a toolbar / HandledToolItem, and then also a popup menu with a HandledMenuItem. When I create DirectMenuItem / DirectToolItem, they are properly enabled, but my HandledMenuItem / HandledToolItem start out enabled briefly and then become disabled. They have no parameters and they have no Visible-When expression. My Application has the HandlerProcessingAddon, and in fact I've tried including that in the fragment as well.

Suggestions? I can't find any documentation explaining what I did wrong, as I followed documentation / examples.

thanks much

Has anyone else seen this issue with HandledMenuItem or HandledToolItem being disabled when provided from a fragment? I don't want to hardcode DirectMenuItems ...
thanks
Tamar

Your fragment looks good. The fact that it starts enabled and disables means that it's probably the @CanExecute evaluation of the handler? What does the @CanExecute of the handler look like?

Hi Tamar,

I just can confirm that I'm facing the same issue here...
My Application.e4xmi also already contains the 'HandlerProcessingAddon' addon
and my 'HandledMenuItem' entries from my fragment do show up disabled in the menu..

I'll just keep on searching for a solution, and once I find something, I'll
post it here ofcourse.
Hopefully someone else can shine some light on this.

Have a nice day !

pieter.

Hi,

I have the same problem as the original poster, but my HandledToolItem is always disabled. It is disabled when I don't have a @CanExecute function as well as when I have a @CanExecute function that always returns true. My Application also has the HandlerProcessingAddon. Suggestions?

Thanks,
DW
