Removing context menu items from diagram [message #217648] Sat, 07 February 2009 00:31 Go to next message

Hi,

I am wondering how to remove certain menu items from the default context menu.
For example when I right click a node on my diagram there's an edit
section. What if I want to remove Copy/Paste and only keep Duplicate
from the Edit submenu? Or what if I want to remove the Filters submenu
altogether?

I would basically like to know where I should look in the code to
customize the context menu.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,

for some elements it works by adding a extension to the
contributionItemProviders extension point, making a popupContribution
and set remove to false. Here is an example for removing the add-group
and the navigate-group:

<extension
point=" org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.action.contributi onItemProviders ">
<contributionItemProvider
checkPluginLoaded="false"
class=" org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.providers.DiagramContribu tionItemProvider ">

<Priority name="Low"/>

<popupContribution
id="remove_popup_menu_id"
class=" org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.providers.DiagramContextM enuProvider ">

<popupStructuredContributionCriteria
objectClass=" org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.editparts.DiagramEditPart ">
</popupStructuredContributionCriteria>
<popupPredefinedItem id="navigateGroup" remove="true"/>
<popupPredefinedItem id="addGroup" remove="true"/>

</popupContribution>
</contributionItemProvider>
</extension>


The IDs for the popupPredefinedItem are defined in the class
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.actions.ActionIds.

But i am not sure if this works for all context menu entries this way.

Hi,

Thank you! This was very helpful! It did the trick for most of the
menus i wanted to get rid of.
However I don't know how to remove specific menu items from certain
menus. I will keep looking (example: removing the copy/paste from Edit,
and keep the Duplicate menu item).
Thanks again for your help.
