Re: [platform-swt-dev] JFace & MenuManager

[Knut Radloff <knut_radloff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Questions about how to use JFace and other plugins should be posted to the 
eclipse.platform newsgroup (eclipse.platform.swt for SWT questions). The 
mailing lists are intended for discussing the development of the plugins 
themselves.
To answer your question, you have to create a dynamic menu if you want to 
use it as a context menu. Search for references to setRemoveAllWhenShown 
for examples. Here's one:
                MenuManager mgr = new MenuManager();
                mgr.setRemoveAllWhenShown(true);
                mgr.addMenuListener(new IMenuListener() {
                        public void menuAboutToShow(IMenuManager mgr) {
                                fillContextMenu(mgr);
                        }
                });

I entered a doc bug to get this added to the doc.

Hello

I am trying to create a popup-menu in a jface treeView using the jface
menumanager. i did not find enough docs to understand what steps i have to
follow to get it right.

1. I create a treeView and populate it
2. I create a menumanager and populate it with items
3. I use the
tree.getControl().setMenu(menuManager.createContextMenu(tree.getControl()));

but there is no popup visible.

Can anyone help me? thank you!

Christian
