Hi All,

We already know that actions can handle commands using "definitionID", I am just wondering if there is any possibility of letting the commands handle actions. In other way i have ViewerContributions actions already implemented i wanna reuse them in commands

THanks,
Hadi

Your Idea is so good, it is possible to implement, but it also needs DIY for the action resolveing code.

Hey Smartee,

Thankls for the reply, but would you please tell me what is the DIY, besides, do you have a code segment or any thought that i could start with.

THanks

Maybe we can use commands and key bindings to launch the specific action. To some commands that have been already defined by the eclipse system, we can use the “setGlobalHandler” method to reuse the id, we can bind the id with our own action. I think it seems a little weird that using commands to handle actions. I mean, usually, an action is triggered by a command or a key binding. Maybe we should accept the normal rules of using commands and actions.

Thanks for your reply oxygold,

Actually, yes we must accept eclipse rule, but the matter here is reusing the implemented actions by being called from inside the command instead of replicating code. My case is having an actions applied to a specific view by using viewer contribution and object contribution, i want to create a drop down menu on the view Toolbar with same actions without replicating the code, even if I don't want to replicate code, the view actions code most probably is not applicable to be implemented inside commands function "Correct me if i am wrong".

As we are more clear here, does anybody have thoughts or idea about how could we implement this.

Many Thanks,
Hadi
