How/when to show popup menu on connection creation? [message #638491] Thu, 11 November 2010 12:59 Go to next message

Does anyone know how to do the following:

When the user is using a connection tool and then clicks on the target
figure to complete the connection I would like to intercept this to
display a pop-up menu so the user can choose an option. Where to
intercept the mouse-down event?

Regards,

PB

Hi, no this won't work because this is called also when the mouse is
hovering over target figures. I need it to activate on a mouse down
event which is called from
AbstractConnectionCreationTool.handleCreateConnection()

What about using a custom creation tool which extends the default org.eclipse.gef.tools.ConnectionCreationTool?

Thanks, yes, this is what I am doing now. It seems to be working so far.
