Hi guys,

I am developing a RCP applications, and I have been unable to find how can I change Viewpart's tab menu (the one that have Detached, Move, Close... actions). Could anyone help me?

On the other hand, I want to know if there is a way to translate all these commands, I have tried to override org.eclipse.ui.window.maximizePart without success...

Thank you in advance

The pane menu (called the system menu in eclipse) is provided by the presentation (generally the 3.x presentation that provides a presentation factory and follows the presentation API). AFAIK it is not extensible.

Here is a code that will allow you to hide that menu; but to change it as Paul is said it is not possible.
BTW, what is your use case for changing that menu?

Display display = PlatformUI.createDisplay();
    display.addFilter(SWT.MenuDetect, new Listener() {
      @Override
      public void handleEvent(Event aEvent) {
        if (aEvent.widget != null) {
          if (aEvent.widget.getClass() == CTabFolder.class) {
            aEvent.type = SWT.None;
          }
        }
      }
    });

Hi again and thanxs for your responses,

the thing is our application is wrotten in Spanish, so I wanted to have this menu translated in that language.

However I think it is not a bad option to hide, so I will put all needed options in the viewpart menu.

Thanks for your help!

If it was only the case of translating those entries to spanish then a language fragment will solve your problem.
Please read this article: http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Speak-The-Local-Language/article.html. Then download the appropriate language pack from http://eclipse.org/babel/ and integrate it into your build if necessary. For that menu you have pointed to the 'responsible' plugin containing the properties file is: org.eclipse.ui.workbench.

Note that in my case it was decided by the client to remove those menu entries.

Thanks Catalin,

I finally chose to hide that menu, I think it is better this way. Thank's for your help.

Cheers

Just a note. That won't work reliable in eclipse 4.2, as the presentation has changed.
