Hi,
This is actually from a old chain... I would be really grateful if someone
could guide me in the right direction for registering actions as
retargettable actions...
Anyway for your reference, have copy pasted the text below...
Thanks,
Rahul
Hi Francis,
Thanks for the help that you extended. I worked on the following and used it
successfully to override the Open action (this is registered as a
Retargettable action already). However, for the editActions (copy, paste) I
am unable to override the default action, since I need to register my
actions as retargetting these default actions. How can I do that really?
The way I have added my actions (following instructions given on the CNF
blog - scribbledideas.blogspot.com) is using actionProvider... following is
roughly the code from the plugin.xml for reference (if it helps!)...
<extension
id="com.sample.prjexpextn"
name="sample Project"
point="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent">
<navigatorContent
activeByDefault="true"
contentProvider="com.sample.prjexpextn.cnf.VFileContentProvider "
icon="/icons/designer_folder_tree_icon.gif"
id="com.sample.xpd.projectExplorer.extension"
labelProvider="com.sample.prjexpextn.cnf.VFileLabelProvider "
name="Sample"
priority="high">
<actionProvider
class=" com.sample.prjexpextn.cnf.action.providers.EditActionProvide r "
id="com.sample.prjexpexten.actionProvider.EditAction"
overrides="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.EditActions">
<enablement>
<or>
<and>
<adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile" />
<test
...............
</test>
</and>
<and>
<adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFolder" />
<test
...................
</test>
</and>
</or>
</enablement>
</actionProvider>
</navigatorContent>
</extension>
I believe in order to ensure that these actions RETARGET the original
copy/paste, I have to define them as retargettable actions? CNF as of now
has only one retargettable action
org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ICommonActionConstants.OPEN. So similarly, how do I
register other actions as retarget actions?
Thanks,
Rahul
