Can someone give me a quick overview of how I can add context menu
actions to editparts?

I managed to get an action to show up for my editpart, but I'm trying
to place that in sub-menu in the context menu.

hi Kelvin, I don't know whether that's what you want, wish help:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
<?gmfgen generated="false"?>
<objectContribution
adaptable="false"
id="...your objectContribution id"
objectClass="...your editpart full class name">
<action
class="...your action full class name"
enablesFor="..."
icon="..."
id="your action id"
label="..."
menubarPath="...">
</action>
</objectContribution>
</extension>

as an action, you have to implement the interface IObjectActionDelegate

Hello!

I've created the class that implements the action, added by me to the
edit part.

The question is: how to get a reference to the edit part in the run()
method (or anywhere else)? I need to know the values of some properties
of the domain element, which edit part is the "owner" of the popup.

So, how to do it better?

Thanks!

Viktor

Viktor,

The implementation in
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.actions.AbstractDiagramMo delActionDelegate#getElements(ISelection)
might be what you're looking for. Your action delegate could extend
this one and inherit the behaviour.

Regards,
Linda

Hi Kelvin,

I guess, the simpliest way to create a popup menu action is to add CustomAction
element to your GMFGen model (bug 174961):
1) Open GMFGen model
2) Select GenDiagram element. Create 'Context Menu' element inside it. Set
required 'context'(e.d. DiagramEditPart) and 'id' properties.
3) Create 'Custom Action' inside the newly created Context Menu. Set 'name'
and 'id' property. If you change 'Generate boilerplate implementation' from
'false' to 'true', action stub will be generated for you.
4) Generate diagram code

The functionality is just-implemented, it will be available in upcoming M3
build.
Best wishes,
Tanya.
