Hi all,
I'd like to realize a drop down menu in a (arbitrarily positioned) toolbar
using ToolBarManager and ActionContributionItem. Unfortunately with RAP
the menu pops up at a wrong position when pressing the arrow button while
the same code is running fine under RCP.
Backtracking the effect one can find the reason for it in
ActionContributionItem.handleWidgetSelection() at
if (mc != null) {
Menu m = mc.getMenu(ti.getParent());
if (m != null) {
// position the menu below the drop down item
Point point = ti.getParent().toDisplay(new Point(e.x, e.y));
Point p = ti.getParent().toDisplay(
new Point(e.x, e.y));
m.setLocation(p.x, p.y); // waiting for SWT
// 0.42
m.setVisible(true);
return; // we don't fire the action
}
}
in the RAP version (which is slightly different to the RCP implementation
where the coordinates of the toolitem are taken directly from the OS).
Here RAP seems to take coordinates from the processed event that are
already absolute values (where the control should be positioned) but
treats them as relatives, i.e. starts an additional translation in
Control.toDisplay() which in the end leads to a misplaced control.
Debugging a little deeper one can see that these coordinates are already
set as absolute ones when instantiating the event in
DropDownToolItemDelegateLCA.readData() resp.
ToolItemLCAUtil.newSelectionEvent() - can't estimate if this is the wanted
behavior.
It would be nice if you could take a look at the effect and help me to
find out wether there's a mistake in my approach of realizing a drop down
toolitem or possibly a little bug in the RAP implementation?
You can easily reproduce it with the following code. Just replace the view
coding of the RAP project template "RAP Application with a view" by the
code below. (Your view ID will probabely be different of course.)
Thanks in advance
Rainer
public class View extends ViewPart {
public static final String ID = "DropDownBug.view";

tbm.createControl(parent);

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();

tbm.add(org.eclipse.ui.actions.ActionFactory.DELETE.create(w indow));
tbm.add(new DropDownAction(IAction.AS_DROP_DOWN_MENU));
tbm.update(true);

Hi Rainer,
thanks a lot for your analysis. I can reproduce the problem and I'm
pretty sure this is a bug in RAP because a) it works in RCP and b) you
didn't deal with positions in your code at all.
May I ask you to file a bug [1] and append your snippet and the pointers
you found? This ensures that the issue doesn't get lost and allows you
to keep track of it.
Thanks, Ralf

Hi Ralf,
okay, it's done. I've used the default for the assignment, I hope it's
okay.
As closing comment: one can bypass the problem by registering a
SelectionListener with the ToolItem corresponding to the drop-down action,
finding out the "attached" menu and sending an event to it charged with
the right coordinates. In the menuShown() event handler of the menu one
can correct the location.
For example
final ToolItem item = toolBarManager.getControl().getItem(xyz);
item.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(final Event event) {
Point point = new Point(event.x, event.y);
ActionContributionItem contribution = (ActionContributionItem)
item.getData();
NewItemMenuCreator creator = (NewItemMenuCreator)
contribution.getAction().getMenuCreator();
Menu menu = creator.getMenu(toolBarManager.getControl());
MenuEvent myEvent = new MenuEvent(menu, MenuEvent.MENU_SHOWN);
myEvent.data = point;
myEvent.processEvent();
}
and
this.fMenu.addMenuListener(new MenuListener() {
...
public void menuShown(final MenuEvent e) {
Point location = (Point) e.data;
if (location != null) {
DropDownAction.this.fMenu.setLocation(location);
}
}
Still waiting for side effects ;-)) and without it would be better of
course! But for the moment ...
Best regards
Rainer
