| ===How can I change the contents of a menu according to the selected file in the editor?=== |
| |
| * Create your action and let it implement [http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-util/org/openide/util/actions/Presenter.Menu.html Presenter.Menu] |
| * Return a special <tt>JMenuItem</tt> subclass that implements [http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-awt/org/openide/awt/DynamicMenuContent.html DynamicMenuContent] from <tt>getMenuPresenter()</tt> |
| * Implement [http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-awt/org/openide/awt/DynamicMenuContent.html DynamicMenuContent] methods to return the desired menu content, using [http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-windows/org/openide/windows/TopComponent.Registry.html TopComponent.Registry] for finding the selected file in the editor. |
| |
| https://bitbucket.org/jglick/dynamicmenudemo/ also does something similar. |
| |
| ===Can I hide or show a whole menu or toolbar?=== |
| |
| To hide a menu or toolbar you have to edit your <tt>layer.xml</tt> and append <tt>_hidden</tt> to the name of the desired menu or toolbar. You may also hide <tt>*.instance</tt> files. |
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="xml" enclose="div" highlight="6"> |
| <folder name="Menu"> |
| <!-- Hide View menu --> |
| <folder name="View_hidden"/> |
| <folder name="SomeMenu"> |
| <!-- Hide a single menu item --> |
| <file name="SomeAction.instance_hidden"/> |
| </folder> |
| </folder> |
| <folder name="Toolbars"> |
| <!-- Hide Edit toolbar --> |
| <folder name="Edit_hidden"/> |
| </folder> |
| </syntaxhighlight > |
| |
| It's generally much easier to do this from the NetBeans IDE, [http://forums.netbeans.org/post-77476.html as described here]. |
| |
| Note that to hide the Navigate menu one has to declare GoTo_hidden instead of Navigate_hidden (the menu was originally named GoTo, but was later renamed to Navigate by the means of Bundle.properties). |
