Hi Gerhard,
See my comments inline.
I think Ariel is right
The obvious way to set an image in a context menu item is to set an
image for the command URL in the Addons.xcu config. file, but as the API
ref. for
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/ui/ActionTrigger.html#Image
says that the value for this property is an XBitmap, we should (in
theory) be able to get it and set it.
I think, if a context menu has a icon or a submenu, this has to show in
the corresponding XPropertySet
Don't mix the Addons.xcu and context menu interception. Context menu
interception is not influenced by any Addons.xcu entry. You can only
change the context menu with a context menu interceptor via UNO interfaces.
I have the feeling that the property "SubContainer" is empty if the
submenu was created via a *.xcu configuration file.
That means, one can not add items to existing submenues at runtime using source
code.
Am I right?
No, the xcu configuration doesn't influence any context menu. The
"SubContainer" property is only used by the context menu interceptor UNO
API.
If so, maybe that is the exact intension of the API-developers in order to
keep the system consistent.
The menu items added to the main menu via Addons.xcu configuration
file(s) are not visible using the user interface configuration API. The
reason is to keep the system consistent. Otherwise developers would be
able to store add-on entries persistently which don't work in other
environments.
But someone might want to implement his very
special "Line Spaceing" or "Allignment".
How would he do that?
There are sub menus which are filled at runtime. These items are called
"Popup Menu Controllers" and are associated with a command URL. The
configuration file Controller.xcu contains the "Popup Menu Controllers".
You have to create your own "Popup Menu Controller" if you want to
exchange the implementation. You can find more information about "Popup
Menu Controllers" here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/Tutorial/Popup_Menu_Controller
Up to now there is only the possiblity to insert menue items into the
main manu and the Add-Ons-Menu via *.xcu file.
You can use the context menu interceptor to modify an existing context
menu item including sub menus. The Addons.xcu configuration lets you add
new menus and menu items into the main menu bar.
Regards,
Carsten
