Hey there,

is it possible to extend the diagram with an additional context menu entry? I mean by right clicking on the canvas (not on a specific element). Like the org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus extension point for the file browser. Is there a specific sirius extension point or is it gmf specific?

Thanks,

Michael

It should be possible to extends the diagram contextual menu with
org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus or org.eclipse.ui.menus

This is done by the org.eclipse.sirius.diagram plugin itself for several
menus: Show/Hide (menu), Delete from Diagram (action provided with an
object contribution), Refresh (command provided with a menu contribution).

These menu are created with a locationURI=
popup:org.eclipse.ui.popup.any?after=XXX , with XXX is one of the
contextual menu group, and ?after=XXX is optional, the additional menu
should be added to the addition group if there is no specified placement.

You should when possible add a visibleWhen element to avoid to provide
your menu for all existing contextual menu. For example, if you want to
add the menu for the diagram edit part only (the canvas):

<visibleWhen checkEnabled="false">
<with variable="selection"> <!-- or activeMenuSelection -->
<iterate>
<instanceof
value="org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.edit.api.part.IDDiagramEditPart">
</instanceof>
</iterate>
</with>
</visibleWhen>
