Please note Eclipse RCP is used.
I have enabled Multi-select using CTRL+Mouse Click for an existing Tree Viewer. Now I need to provide two menus for Right Click:
One menu item on Single Selection.
A different menu item for Multiple Selection.
Currently extension definition through plugin.xml
is available for Single Selection where the selected object is checked if it is an instanceof
some value.
How to identify multiple select? What needs to be checked for multi-select in extension definition.
<definition
id="com.sample.rightclickmenu.singleselect.id.expression">
<with
variable="org.eclipse.ui.selection">
<iterate
ifEmpty="false"
operator="and">
<or>
<instanceof
value="com.sample.ExampleNGroup"> -> Where N=1,2,..
</instanceof>
</or>
</iterate>
</with>
</definition>
When I multi-select between different N, what should be the extension definition.
<definition
id="com.sample.rightclickmenu.multiselect.id.expression">
<with
variable="org.eclipse.ui.selection">
<iterate
ifEmpty="false"
operator="and">
<or>
<instanceof
value=??> -> what needs to be the value here.
</instanceof>
</or>
</iterate>
</with>
</definition>
I hope I have explained the problem properly.
You can use the count
element to test the selection size
Single item selected:
<with variable="org.eclipse.ui.selection">
<count value="1" />
<iterate ifEmpty="false">
....
</iterate>
</with>
Two or more items selected
<with variable="org.eclipse.ui.selection">
<count value="(2-" />
<iterate ifEmpty="false">
....
</iterate>
</with>
