I'm faced with a problem.

OS X (and presumably Windows and Linux) offer very useful OS-contributed
menu options for Text controls, including spelling, lookup, etc.

I'm wanting to add menu items of my own, but I don't seem to be able to
get this OS-provided menu object.

When I create a menu of my own, it is missing these items, of course.

Does anyone know how to grab the OS-provided menu, and either add to it,
or to copy its menu items somehow into one I create?

Cheers,


Simon Pope

Hi Simon,

There isn't a way to do this. I don't know if it's technically possible
because it would require the platforms to make the handles of these
default menus available for clients to modify. If you want you can log
a Feature Request with SWT for this, to at least be investigated.
