RCP 3.7 popupmenu problem [message #1400405] Mon, 14 July 2014 02:36 Go to next message

Hello everyone , i meet a problem. I use menuContribution to add a popupmenu for my view like this "popup:myviewID".
But in my view , when i use "getSite().registerContextMenu(menuManager, viewer)", i don't hava a treeviewer or a tableviewer.

Then i find this in google,
final MenuManager menuMgr = new MenuManager();
// menuMgr.setRemoveAllWhenShown(true);
// IMenuService menuService = (IMenuService) PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService(IMenuService.class);
// menuService.populateContributionManager(menuMgr, "popup:myviewID");
// parent.setMenu(menuMgr.createContextMenu(parent));
it did't work out.


I want to know how can i do ?(i know use action is ok, but i really want to use menucontribution+command+handler)
Thank you for your help! Very Happy

The registerContextMenu() method takes an ISelectionProvider, not a Viewer. JFace Viewers implement ISelectionProvider.

You'll need to create an SWT Menu and JFace MenuManager to manage that menu. You'll need to trigger that menu to be shown, if you don't associate it with a widget (as per SWT Snippets 238).

thank you for your help.
I didn't hava a ISelectionProvider. So I tried to let my view implement this. But when i full this view with swt components like button combo so on. It didn't work again.
I guess that the view couldn't react the right mouse click .
So I replace this problem with "menu:myviewID".
It can work out! It adds a view menu to my view. Looks like cool!

Thanks a lot.

Tom
