Jirka,
I didn't see anything wrong with the code the you included. We've been able to
successfully include more than one custom menu in XXE 3.6 using the approach
specified here:
http://xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/multiple_menus.html
Here is the relevant code that has been working for us:
customize.xxe_gui -------------------------------------------------
<menuItems name="configSpecificMenuItems1">
<class>com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.kit.part.ConfigSpecificMenuItems</class>
<property name="specificationName" type="String" value="insertMenu" />
</menuItems>
<menuItems name="configSpecificMenuItems2">
<class>com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.kit.part.ConfigSpecificMenuItems</class>
<property name="specificationName" type="String" value="tableMenu" />
</menuItems>
<menu name="configSpecificInsertMenu" label="Insert"
helpId="configSpecificMenu1">
<menuItems name="configSpecificMenuItems1" />
</menu>
<menu name="configSpecificTableMenu" label="Table"
helpId="configSpecificMenu2">
<menuItems name="configSpecificMenuItems2" />
</menu>
<menuBar name="menuBar" helpId="menuBar">
<menu name="fileMenu" />
<menu name="editMenu" />
<menu name="configSpecificInsertMenu"/>
<menu name="toolsMenu" />
<menu name="configSpecificTableMenu"/>
<menu name="helpMenu" />
</menuBar>
config.xxe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
<menu name="tableMenu" label="T_able">
...
</menu>
<menu name="insertMenu" label="_Insert">
...
</menu>
Cheers,
Mike

Hussein,
The Gadget approach is *exactly* what I'm needing.
I was able to implement a subclass of TextLabelVP, return it from a
implementation of GadgetFactory, and setup a CSS rule to include it in the
editor. It behaved visually like I would expect, however I could not get it to
respond to any events. I implemented the grabsMouseButton and handleMouseEvent
as the documentation specified, but neither of these methods were ever being
called. I even overrode the focusGained and focusLost method to see if this
gadget was responding to any editor events, and neither of these methods are
ever being called as well.
Below is a listing of the relevant code. The print statement in the MyGadget
constructor is being called and the gadget is included in the document. When I
double-click on the "My Gadget" label in the document, nothing happens.
Can anyone please shed some light on what I might be doing wrong?
Cheers,
Mike
public class MyGadgetFactory implements GadgetFactory {
public Gadget createGadget(StyledElementView view, int role, Style style,
StyleValue[] parameters, StyledViewFactory viewFactory) {
return new MyGadget(style, "My Gadget", view, role);
}
}
public class MyGadget extends TextLabelVP {
public MyGadget(Style style, String text,
StyledElementView view, int role) {
super(style, text, view, role);
Node node = view.getModel();
System.err.println("MyGadget::MyGadget() node: "+node);
}
public boolean grabsMouseButton(MouseEvent e) {
System.err.println("My::grabsMouseButton()");
boolean rv = false;
if(MouseEvent.BUTTON1==e.getButton() && 2==e.getClickCount()) {
rv = true; //double left-click
}
return rv;
}
public void handleMouseEvent(MouseEvent e) {
System.err.println("MyGadget::handleMouseEvent()");
}
}

You cannot do that: style sheet extensions and user input such as
double-clicks are totally unrelated concepts.

Using a standard Java[tm] AWT/Swing Component created using a
ComponentFactory (rather an style extension) is certainly a clean and
simple way to achieve what you want.

http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/styleext.html#solution1
(You could create a Gadget using a GadgetFactory, which is much more
efficient than creating a Component, but doing so is not documented and
is not officially supported:
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/gadget/Gadget.html
Use the grabsMouseButton and handleMouseEvent methods to do something
when the Gadget is double-clicked.
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/styledview/GadgetFactory.html
Gadgets returned by GadgetFactory must implement the
StyledElementViewPart interface.
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/styledgadget/TextLabel.html
TextLabel is a simple styled Gadget
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/styledview/TextLabelVP.html
TextLabelVP is a TextLabel which implements the StyledElementViewPart
interface.)

My company is currently using Altova's XMLSpy to create custom XML Schemas for
our documents. We then use Altova's StlyeVision to create an sps file so that
users can create validated XML documents using Altova's Authentic. We like the
end results of our current system (clean XML files) but do not like the API to
Altova's tools or the fact that the Altova tools only run on Windows. We are
in the process of standardizing on Eclipse for Java and C development and would
like to have an XML Editor similar to Authentic or XMLMind run in Eclipse. The
following are my questions:
* Do you have plans to migrate XMLMind's XML Editor to Eclipse?
* Can we create custom Schema's and CSS and then use XMLMind to create,
validate and edit the documents in a word processor type environment?

Subject: [XXE] Two custom menus in XXE 3.6

Hi,
I'm now porting XXE customization from XXE-std 3.3 to XXE-pro 3.6. My
customization uses two custom menus. In 3.3 I had file custom.xxe_gui
which defined place for new menu as:
<menuItems name="configSpecificMenuItems2">
<class>com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.kit.part.ConfigSpecificMenuItems</class>
<property name="specificationName" type="String" value="menu2" />
</menuItems>
<menu name="configSpecificMenu2" label="XML2">
<menuItems name="configSpecificMenuItems2" />
</menu>
<menuBar name="menuBar" helpId="menuBar">
<menu name="fileMenu" />
<menu name="selectMenu" />
<menu name="editMenu" />
<menu name="searchMenu" />
<menu name="viewMenu" />
<menu name="toolsMenu" />
<menu name="configSpecificMenu" />
<menu name="configSpecificMenu2" />
<menu name="windowMenu" />
<menu name="optionsMenu" />
<menu name="helpMenu" />
</menuBar>
and then *.xxe file I simply attached menu to this new
configSpecificMenu2 placeholder by using:
<menu label="_Table" name="menu2">
...
But this doesn't work anymore in 3.6, menu2 is never displayed. I
studied documentation and it seems that ability to customize GUI was
improved and changed since 3.3. What is the easiest way to simulate 3.3
behaviour in new 3.6 version? I haven't been successful yet.
Thanks,
Jirka
