------------------------------------
Summary: Design and implement "standard" method for associating
context with actions
Key: PIVOT-991
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-991
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wtk
Affects Versions: 2.0.4
Environment: All
Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.1
For a long time I have struggled with how to associate context with actions,
particularly if an action can be invoked in several ways (such as from a
toolbar button, menu item, popup menu, link button, etc.). And in the case of
popup menus from a tree view, for instance, a standard menu action (such as
"Refresh") definitely would need "context" or a way to associate which tree
node it was invoked from (e.g.) with the Action. In our application I have
invented a somewhat cumbersome approach that is fragile and hard to maintain.
There should be a better way.
This issue is created as a placeholder for this research/thinking as well as
the implementation (should we come up with one).
I know of other users of Apache Pivot that have also struggled with this
concept.
