Command API and Global actions [message #335223]

Hi There,

I would like to request some direction on how to override the standard
COPY, CUT, PASTE actions using the command API? (Declarative form).

My declaration below doesn't activate the Action for an Editor, which is
an EMF Editor BTW. The EMF Editor registers it's action with
setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.PASTE.getId(), pasteAction);
through an ActionBar contributor.

Could this be a handler conflict?

Do I need to re-declare the paste command or is the handler sufficient?

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
<handler
class="com.netxforge.networkdata.addon.PasteHandler"
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.edit.paste">
<activeWhen>
<with
variable="activeEditor">
<equals
value="com.MyEditor">
</equals>
</with></activeWhen>
</handler>
</extension>

Thanks Christophe

Christophe,

It's best not to post the same question to multiple groups with separate
post. Given that the EMF editor registers handles programmatically, I
don't imagine it's possible to have two handlers. I could be wrong, but
it seems unlikely...

If there is a handler conflict, it should show up in your error log. If
not, the other way to check is to run with handler tracing for your
command. See
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_Command_Framework#Tracing_O ption

It might not be a conflict, you need activeEditorId if you want to
compare it to an id ... activeEditor is the IEditorPart.
