Hi,
i have an RCP Application with a CTabFolder in it.
When I make a right-click on it a standard context menu appears. How can I disable this function or make the items of the menu in german?
I would prefer to make my own context menu for the TabFolder...

You can't make your own menu, that's provided by the presentation. But you can provide German translations for them (and there should be one already). See how http://www.eclipse.org/babel does it.

Thanks for the reply. The translation worked Smile

But is there a way to remove the context menu form the tabfolder?

We have written our own presentation which uses our custom menu entries.
Just search in the presentation code for the position where ISystemMenu
is implemented.

I found the class StandardViewSystemMenu which looks like the implementation of the context menu.
But I don't know I have to do to change it...
Thanks for your replies again Smile

You need to create your own presentation. I googled for it and found
http://book.javanb.com/eclipse-rich-client-platform-designing-coding-and-packaging-java-applications-oct-2005/ch19lev1sec3.html

I'd suggest you start copy WorkbenchPresentationFactoryClassic to your
own package and see what classes you are still missing.

Hello
A workaround to remove the menu is here: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/262045/756719/#msg_756719.

But as Tom suggested creating your own presentation is the correct way.

Time is what you make of it.

Hi,
thanks fpr the clue with the presentation. I think that is what I was searching for.
So I tried to create my own presentation. It looks like it is working because I can use it in the org.ui.example.presentation project. But how can I include it into my project?
I made a presentation.ini file with the content: org.eclipse.ui/presentationFactoryId=my.presentation.factory and added it to the Binary Build.

In my plugin.xml I have:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.presentationFactories">
   <factory
         class="de.application.PresentationFactory"
         id="my.presentation.factory"
         name="name">
   </factory>
</extension>

and

<property
      name="preferenceCustomization"
      value="presentation.ini">
</property>

I think it should work with this configuration!? But nothing happens Sad

Found the solution. I just made a clear workspace and clear configuration area in the launch configuration.

Thanks a lot for your help Smile
