Menu items are disabling in lotus note client

HCL Domino Domino Forum

  1. We are adding the custom menu in lotus notes client menu bar and tool bar.

  2. When the view is opened for first time, the menu items are disabled in disabled state.

  3. After selecting any documents, then menus are enabling correctly.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Subject: please provide more detail.

And please use precise terminology. You can’t add a menu to the tool bar because the tool bar doesn’t contain menus. Are you talking about actions? What exactly do you mean they’re “disabled”? Show your code. Etcetera.

Subject: Reg : Menu items are disabling in lotus note client.

Hi Andre Guirard,

Thanks for your reply.

I added my custom menu in Lotus Notes Client 8.0 menu bar using PlugIn.xml file, not in toolbar.

then i tried to disable the menu in “selection changed” event.

Code used inside selectionChanged Event:

action.setEnabled(false);

after clicking on the menu button it shows “Choosen operation is currently disabled”. then menu become to disabled state.

after i am able to enable the same menu in “Selection Changed” event. it’s working fine.

but first time when i am disabling the menu item, but it shows the “Choosen operation is currently disabled” error message then menu gets disabled.

my PlugIn.xml file content as below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?eclipse version="3.2"?>

<extension

     point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSets">

  <actionSet

        id="com.ibm.notes.mail.utils.actionSet"

…then I don’t know what else to suggest, but I’m probably not the best person to answer this.
