Hi,

what would you consider the best approach to customize the context menu of a partStack's tab? I would like it to show additional entries, not just the usual "Close, Close All, Close Others..."

With Eclipse Platform 4.5 (Mars) we provided the ability to provide a new StackRenderer to replace the menu generated (as part of bug 461724). Lars Vogel's has a tutorial on replacing renderers. We'll look to improve the process for 4.6.

Hi Brian,

thanks for your answer. I already have to use custom renderers, so this will not be the problem here. But I am only using 4.3 - is there another way than upgrading to 4.5 to achieve this?

You could duplicate the StackRenderer class contents and then modify it.

.... which requires you to release it under EPL!
