Hi,
is it possible for You to make the IMenuListener work? I need it to update
the action state as the menu gets shown.

Regards,

Markus

Hi Markus,

the basic prerequisite for this to work is that RWT MenuListeners are in
place. Those are on Ralfs TODO list and thus should be there in the near
future.
It shouldn't be hard to make IMenuListener work once the RWT menu events
are in place.

Hi Markus,

you can now use IMenuListener to enable/disable actions. However, we
still have a problem in qooxdoo that breaks the menu layout when
MenuItems are added after the menu has been once shown. Therefore you
still can't add actions in the IMenuListener properly. I hope it helps
you anyway.

Ralf

I got two Issues:

1. May it be possible that the menu is no redrawn evertime it gets shown? Is
this correct this way? I assume this because as I click on a menu I first
see three dots "..." for a very short time and then my actions.
2. My context menu on a treeviewer now has no more actions!

Best regards,

Markus

The second issue was an error in my code as I added menu items to menu
instead of actions to menu manager.

But I have a new Issue:
In IE7 the menu now is too small and the text overlaps the menu area. In
IE6+Firefox everything works well.

Markus

That was weird. After a couple of refreshs it now works correctly for IE7.

So only issue left:

When a MenuListener is registered to a Menu, an AJAX request must be
sent before the menu is shown to allow the listener to do take its
actions. Until the response is received, only one preliminary menu item
is shown ("...") to show the user that the menu is loading.

Showing the entire menu before the response comes back would show the
menu in an inconsistent state for a short time, e.g. with some items
still enabled that are then disabled by the menu listener.

I think the preliminary item is a good compromise between correctness
and responsiveness. Or do you think it disturbs users?

Regards,
Ralf

Thant's not a problem. Just thought it may be a bug since it also happens if
I do not register a menu listener, but maybe you add some default menu
listerner.
That woul explain why it behaves this way although I did not register a menu
listener.

Thanks for the answer.,

Markus

P.s.: You guys do a really good job with RAP! Maybe I can give you a
Demoaccess to my RAP application somtime to show what my questions were all
about.

Not we, but JFace does. A plain RWT Menu only waits if a MenuListener is
set. But the JFace MenuManager always adds one. Hence, in the Workbench
every menu has that behavior now. I guess we have to live with that so far.

Thanks for your feedback,
Ralf

Thanks for the positive feedback! And I would love to see your
application at work. If you can't make it public I would be happy to
receive a private email as well.
