Disable / grey out context-menu items in vision

[henning.e.heine]

I am trying to customize the context menue of a component in vision and I would like to grey out one item in the context menu:

In the context menue that is shown, when i right-click on the root container some items are greyed out. That is what I am trying to do.

Thanks for any hint on how to achive this.

You'll need to create a custom java menu instead of using IA's helper function. This topic will get you started:

Icon beside each item in popup menu

You can do it by creating your popup menu with the underlying java classes instead of system.gui.createPopupMenu(). If you look at JMenuItem, you’ll see it has a constructor that takes an icon and a string. You can use this code to get you started: def showPopup(event): if not event.popupTrigger: return from javax.swing import JPopupMenu, JMenuItem menu = JPopupMenu() x = JMenuItem("Show Tag Tree") def showTagTreeAction(event, comp=event.source.parent.getComponent("TagTree")): comp.v…

The key to your case is that each JMenuItem has a .setEnabled() method. (Follow the link to the javadoc.)
