I have a set of buttons in a toolbar shown in IViewPart. One of the
buttons has a pull-down list attached. The following XML code for the
toolbar works fine:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI=" toolbar:com.kelman.basemap.ui.view.BasemapView?after=additio ns ">
<command
commandId="com.kelman.basemap.ui.command.plotTypeDisplay.pulldown "
icon="icons/elcl16/error_display.gif"
id="com.kelman.basemap.ui.toolbar.plotTypeDisplay"
label="Display type"
style="pulldown"
tooltip="Select type of display">
<visibleWhen>
<reference
definitionId="com.kelman.basemap.ui.activeEditor">
</reference>
</visibleWhen>
</command>
</menuContribution>
<menuContribution
locationURI=" menu:com.kelman.basemap.ui.toolbar.plotTypeDisplay?after=add itions ">
<command
commandId="com.kelman.basemap.ui.command.option1"
label="Option 1"
style="radio">
<parameter
name="com.kelman.basemap.ui.command.parameter.option1"
value="OPTION_1">
</parameter>
</command>
<command
commandId="com.kelman.basemap.ui.command.option2"
label="Option 2"
style="radio">
<parameter
name="com.kelman.basemap.ui.command.parameter.option2"
value="OPTION_2">
</parameter>
</command>
</menuContribution>
</extension>
However, when I try to compose a similarly-populated pop-up menu (as a
mirror image of the toolbar), I cannot get the submenu shown where the
toolbar has the button with pull-down list. I tried to use the "menu"
item as the anchor point for the submenu, adding it to the pop-up.
Here is the relevant part of my pop-up menu definition:
<menuContribution
locationURI="popup:#BaseMapViewPopup?after=additions">
<menu
icon="icons/elcl16/error_display.gif"
label="Display type">
<command
commandId="com.kelman.basemap.ui.command.option1"
label="Option 1"
style="radio">
<parameter
name="com.kelman.basemap.ui.command.parameter.option1"
value="OPTION_1">
</parameter>
</command>
<command
commandId="com.kelman.basemap.ui.command.option2"
label="Option 2"
style="radio">
<parameter
name="com.kelman.basemap.ui.command.parameter.option2"
value="OPTION_2">
</parameter>
</command>
</menu>
</menuContribution>
All other (plain) items do show up in the menu.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Sorry, but you lost me on this one.
I have a menu contribution where I list a number of items (commands).
The contribution's locationURI is
popup:#BaseMapViewPopup?after=additions. There is a
registerContextMenu() call for this ID in the code.
In the toolbar contribution (which is fairly symmetrical to the popup
menu) I have a command that serves as an anchor point for the pull-down
menu. The command has a unique ID, that is also referenced in another
menu contribution, which lists the submenu items. This part works as
expected.
Now, the context menu needs an anchor point too, otherwise how does the
framework know where to put the submenu in?
Anyway, I did the following:
1. added registerContextMenu() for "#BaseMapViewPopup.displayType" in
the code
2. added the new menu contribution to plugin.xml with locationURI
"popup:#BaseMapViewPopup.displayType?after=additions"
3. populated this contribution with a menu item (ID
#BaseMapViewPopup.displayType1)
4. populated this menu item with commands.
<menuContribution
locationURI="popup:#BaseMapViewPopup.displayType?after=additions ">
<menu
icon="icons/elcl16/error_display.gif"
id="#BaseMapViewPopup.displayType1"
label="Options">
<command
commandId="com.kelman.basemap.ui.command.option1"
label="Option 1"
style="radio">
<parameter
name="com.kelman.basemap.ui.command.parameter.option1"
value="OPTION_1">
</parameter>
</command>
... (more similar commands here)
</menu>
</menuContribution>
No submenu shown anywhere. Which makes sense, because there is nothing
to tell the framework how to stick this in the main context menu.

Thank you, Paul. Worked fine this time.
