[Springframework-rcp-dev] Implementing additional menu items on TextComponentPopup

[Rogan D. <li...@da...>]

Hi folks,

I would like to implement some additional menu items on the 
TextComponentPopup menu, that can modify the text in the JTextComponent 
in various ways.

I see that there is an overridable method which *SHOULD* suit my purposes:

<http://spring-rich-c.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/spring-rich-c/trunk/spring-richclient/support/src/main/java/org/springframework/richclient/text/TextComponentPopup.java?view=log>

protected CommandGroup getEditableCommandGroup() {
   CommandGroup editGroup =
     getCommandManager().getCommandGroup("textEditMenu");
     if (editGroup == null) {
       editGroup = getCommandManager().createCommandGroup(
         "textEditMenu",
         new Object[] { GlobalCommandIds.UNDO, GlobalCommandIds.REDO,
           "separator", GlobalCommandIds.CUT,
           GlobalCommandIds.COPY, GlobalCommandIds.PASTE,
           "separator", GlobalCommandIds.SELECT_ALL
         }
       );
     }
   return editGroup;
}

So, in theory, I could just define a "textEditMenu" command group in 
commands-context.xml, and have my additional commands show up. However, 
I don't see how to get access to the TextComponent in question in my own 
commands. The Copy/Paste/etc commands that the TextComponent uses are 
all defined as inner classes, and can access the TextComponent in that 
way. But how do I get hold of it in my own (non-inner) class?

Is it some magic about Targetable commands that I am not seeing?

Thanks
