Right-click context menu : could be customized?

Q.Nguyen-Dai

Hi,

In Model browser, we have right-click context menu with several action on current collector.

Can we customize this menu? I would like to customize some action with my scripts.

 

 

Thanks,

Hi

Widget pathname of that menu is 

 .model._pw._fbr.content.frmTreeArea.frmTree._m

 

But from v14, it doesn't come in a static way (depends on what you click on) so if you add a menu item then it will be cleared before pop up.

 

To hook an item just before the menu pops up, thanks to Tk mechanism providing <<MenuSelect>> event. This is a way I used in menuexportdeck script:

 

 proc ::nexpd::p_Initialize {} { 	set BindScript [bind Menu <<MenuSelect>>] 	if {![string match *::nexpd::p_HookMenu* $BindScript]} { 		bind Menu <<MenuSelect>> {+after idle [list ::nexpd::p_HookMenu %W]} 	} } proc ::nexpd::p_HookMenu {menuName} { 	if {![winfo exists $menuName]} return 	if {[string equal Menu [winfo class $menuName]]} { 		if {[string match .model*.frmTreeArea.frmTree.* $menuName]} { 			set menuParent [winfo parent $menuName] 			while {![string equal TreeCtrl [winfo class $menuParent]]} { 				set menuName $menuParent 				set menuParent [winfo parent $menuName] 				if {![string equal Menu [winfo class $menuName]]} return 			} 			set Hooked 0 			set Count [$menuName index end] 			for {set i 0} {$i<=$Count} {incr i} { 				if {[lsearch -exact {cascade command} [$menuName type $i]]!=-1&&[string equal 'Export Deck' [$menuName entrycget $i -label]]} { 					set Hooked 1 					break 				} 			} 			set Selection [$menuParent selection get] 			if {[llength $Selection]} { 				if {!$Hooked} { 					if {![winfo exists $menuName.exportdeck]} { 						menu $menuName.exportdeck -tearoff 0 -activebackground [$menuName cget -activebackground] \ 							-activeforeground [$menuName cget -activeforeground] \ 							-background [$menuName cget -background] \ 							-foreground [$menuName cget -foreground] 						$menuName.exportdeck add command -label 'Only Selected' -command [list ::nexpd::p_ExportSelection $menuParent $Selection 0] 						$menuName.exportdeck add command -label 'With References' -command [list ::nexpd::p_ExportSelection $menuParent $Selection 7] 						$menuName.exportdeck add command -label 'Save Geometry' -command [list ::nexpd::p_ExportSelection $menuParent $Selection -1] 					} 					$menuName insert 0 cascade -label 'Export Deck' -menu $menuName.exportdeck 				} else { 					if {[string equal disabled [$menuName entrycget 'Export Deck' -label]]} { 						$menuName entryconfigure 'Export Deck' -state normal 					} 				} 			} else { 				if {$Hooked} { 					if {![string equal disabled [$menuName entrycget 'Export Deck' -label]]} { 						$menuName entryconfigure 'Export Deck' -state disabled 					} 				} 			} 		} 	} }

Widget path may be changed. You should dump its binding command to use

Maybe.

If it not working, then bind a script to <<MenuSelect>> to catch the menu widget path as my sample code.
