Re: [platform-dev] Clipboard copy / past off popup menu
|
George,
I'm not sure how others feel, but my feeling is that this mailing
list is primarily intended for communication with/among the people
developing the platform itself, so I think it's generally more
appropriate ask usage questions on the forum:
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/11/
That being said, the only IClipboardSupportFactory I could find
was this:
https://git.eclipse.org/c/gmf-runtime/org.eclipse.gmf-runtime.git/tree/org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core/src/org/eclipse/gmf/runtime/emf/clipboard/core/IClipboardSupportFactory.java
But that's from GMF and how to use that is not the expertise of
the folks developing the platform. It doesn't look like the GMF
forum is very helpful so sending you there probably won't help:
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/16/
Perhaps GMF is using a class derived from EMF and this
menuAboutToShow method is being called:
https://git.eclipse.org/c/emf/org.eclipse.emf.git/tree/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui/src/org/eclipse/emf/edit/ui/action/EditingDomainActionBarContributor.java#n614
You'll need to debug how the actions are being added and which
ones are being added.
Regards,
Ed

Hi everyone,
This is my first post and I’m not sure
if I’m posting to the right mailing list.
I inherited a plugin development project
and I’m learning my way through the code and Eclipse plugin
development. So if my question is not and use of terms is not
clear let me know.
Our application uses
IClipboardSupportFactory to take care of copy / past that are
on the menu-bar. We also have code that provides copy / past
function off a popup menu. This code is NOT invoking the same
copy / past that code that gets used from the menu-bar copy /
past, i.e. IClipboardSupportFactory. Instead, it is using our
own class that inherits from GlobalAction and it has a
different logic for copy / past which is only copying and
pasting the UI elements not the underlying metadata of our
application associated with the UI elements.
My question to the group is this, when I
create my popup-menu how do I add to IMenuManager the copy /
past handlers of IClipboardSupportFactory? If I can do this,
then a copy / past action from the popup-menu’s copy / past
selection will do the right thing.
Btw, using the short-cut keys of Ctrl-C
/ Ctrl-V is working. They invoke the copy / past handler off
IClipboardSupportFactory.
Thanks,
-- George
