RE: [CEDET-devel] Xemacs and EDE menu

[<kla...@sd...>]

Hi,

I spent a lot of frustrating time to get running the minor-mode menu for =
ECB.
For GNU Emacs just do a call to `easy-menu-define' and bib is your =
uncle.
For XEmacs you have to write something like this - at least for
a global-minor-mode (here the snippet from ecb.el):

              ;; menus - dealing with the menu for XEmacs is really a =
pain...
              (when ecb-running-xemacs
                (let ((dummy-buf-name " *dummytogetglobalmap*"))
                  (save-excursion
                    (set-buffer (get-buffer-create dummy-buf-name))
                    (add-submenu nil ecb-minor-menu)
                    (kill-buffer dummy-buf-name)))
                (save-excursion
                  (dolist (buf (buffer-list))
                    (set-buffer buf)
                    (if (null (car (find-menu-item current-menubar
                                                   (list =
ecb-menu-name))))
                        (add-submenu nil ecb-minor-menu)))))

This activates the ECB-menu for each buffer at activation-time ECB - =
this is necessary
because ECB is a global minor mode regardless of the current buffer.

If EDE is a local minor-mode then maybe the following line is enough:

(add-submenu nil ede-minor-menu)

Run this line *after* defining the ede-minor-menu with =
`easy-menu-define' as
done in ede.el at line 490...

Not tested - but maybe a helpful hint....

Again, dealing with menus in XEmacs is a pain...

Ciao,
Klaus
