Associating a command to a global handler [message #326016]

I am trying to move to the new command and menu way of adding popup menus
via extension. I have added a new command and a new popupmenu for a view
using the org.eclipse.ui.commands and org.eclipse.ui.menu extensions. I
have added cut copy paste as popup menus. I would like to associate them
with the global cut, copy paste menus.

I know using IAction I can manually create these actions and tie them
using setGlobalActionHandler(). How can I do the same thing with commands
and menus added via extension points. Thanks in advance.

You mean you want to provide your own handlers for the commands (like
org.eclipse.ui.edit.copy)?

From your createPartControl(*) if you have your own CopyHandler that
acts on your view, you would do something like:

createHandlers() {
IHandlerService hs
= (IHandlerService) getSite().getService(IHandlerService.class);
myCopyHandler = new CopyHandler(this);
hs.activeHandler("org.eclipse.ui.edit.copy", myCopyHandler);
}
