Context menu and Print [message #185149]

Hi,

I tried to add Print action into my context menu as below
GEFActionConstants.addStandardActionGroups(menu);

IAction action;

action = getActionRegistry().getAction(ActionFactory.PRINT.getId());

menu.appendToGroup(GEFActionConstants.GROUP_PRINT, action);

However, the popup menu shows the item with no text/label eventhough
clicking on the menu item still executes the PRINT action. Please help.

Thank you.

Danny

Replace the following line

action = getActionRegistry().getAction(ActionFactory.PRINT.getId());

with this.

action = getActionRegistry().getAction(GEFActionConstants.PRINT);

I used that originally but it was deprecated and it told me to use
ActionFactory.PRINT.getId();

Regards,
Danny
The field IWorkbenchActionConstants.PRINT is deprecated

Danny, did you ever find a solution to your problem?

I am having the same problem with Cut, Copy, and Paste actions that I am
trying to contribute to the context menu. When I add the same actions
to the toolbar or a menu, the cut, copy, paste images appear as normal.

The problems seem to only appear with actions which are not
always enabled. For instance, my cut and copy actions are only enabled
when a copy-able/cut-able element is selected.

I would like the behavior of the provided Delete action. If the
action is not enabled, the action appears shaded in the context menu, but
still visible.

After looking at the provided DeleteAction I found the problem. I needed
to provide the proper images, tooltip text, etc for the CopyAction,
CutAction, and PasteActions that I created.

I simply followed the lead of DeleteAction.init()...

/**
* Initializes this action's text and images.
*/
protected void init() {
super.init();
setText(GEFMessages.DeleteAction_Label);
setToolTipText(GEFMessages.DeleteAction_Tooltip);
setId(ActionFactory.DELETE.getId());
ISharedImages sharedImages = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getSharedImages();
setImageDescriptor(sharedImages.getImageDescriptor(ISharedIm ages.IMG_TOOL_DELETE));
setDisabledImageDescriptor(sharedImages.getImageDescriptor(
ISharedImages.IMG_TOOL_DELETE_DISABLED));
setEnabled(false);
}
