In my plugin.xml I have
<menuContribution
allPopups="false"
locationURI="menu:arm.views.funblocks?after=additions">
<menu
icon="icons/fblock.gif"
id="arm.views.funblocks.create"
label="%arm.views.funblocks.create">
<dynamic class="ru.focusmedia.odp.arm.funblocks.navigator.admin.CreateFunBlockContrib"
id="arm.views.funblocks.create.menuitems">
</dynamic>
</menu>
<command
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.edit.delete"
style="push">
</command>
</menuContribution>
and this works fine. However, if I replace menu: with toolbar: in locationURI, only the delete command shows up, but not the menu. I've also tried replacing <menu> element with <toolbar>, but with no result. How can I do this?
You cannot add a menu or toolbar to a toolbar.
You can make the content of a menu of toolbar completely dynamic by using the class attribute of the menuContribution element.

Currently i am developing a context menu addon for Thunderbird 3*. I am trying to add my own Submenu items as part of existing Thunderbird Context menu for mail content.
With the following XUL:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<overlay id="sample"
xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">
<script type="application/javascript" src="chrome://elane/content/expoverlay.js"/>
<popup id="mailContext">
<menu id="elMenu" label="submenu 1">
<popup id="elMenu-popup">
<menuitem id="openBing"
label="Sub Menu Item 1"
oncommand="openURL('https://bing.com')"/>
<menuitem id="openGoogle"
label="Sub Menu Item 2"
oncommand="openURL('https://google.com')"/>
</popup>
</menu>
</popup>
</overlay>
The newly added Context menu item and submenu items are having transparent background:
Can anyone help me with the reason behind this and possible fix?
Change <popup id="elMenu-popup"> and corresponding </popup> to <menupopup id="elMenu-popup"> and </menupopup>
I'm trying to customize my alloy TabGroup to look like the image below (with no luck). no "height" properties on Tab item in the default documentation and with my current version of titanium 3.4.0 can't add View to TabGroup.
anybody know how to create a raised center button using alloy?
that's my index.xml view
<Alloy>
<TabGroup tabsBackgroundColor="white" barColor="#f15b26" activeTabIconTint="black" tintColor="white">
<Require src="home" nr="1" />
<Require src="play" nr="2" />
<Tab icon="/menu/logo.png" height="100">
<Window title="" id="">
<Label></Label>
</Window>
</Tab>
<Require src="chat" nr="3" />
<Require src="config" nr="4" />
</TabGroup>
</Alloy>
you can use an image in the middle of the that exceed the height of the bar.
When we implemented this solution in the past, we did a completely custom tabBar. I dont think you can accomplish what you are trying to do with the base tabBar control
I am using the "Custom UI Editor For Microsoft Office". I have added an "Office 2007 Custom UI Part" which creates the "customui.xml" file for me. It currently has the following code which adds my "Zoom Cell" button to the developer tab.
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon>
<tabs>
<tab idMso="TabDeveloper" >
<group id="customGroup1" label="Zoom" insertAfterMso="GroupModify">
<button id="customButton1" label="Zoom Cell" size="large" onAction="ZoomCell" imageMso="ZoomPrintPreviewExcel" />
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>
What I am trying to do is add the same button basically to the context menu for right-clicking on a cell; however, it is not working for me. If I modify the code even the button from the above code gets removed. Here is what I have tried. I am pretty sure that there is something weird in my xml code; I just can't find it.
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon>
<tabs>
<tab idMso="TabDeveloper" >
<group id="customGroup1" label="Zoom" insertAfterMso="GroupModify">
<button id="customButton1" label="Zoom Cell" size="large" onAction="ZoomCell" imageMso="ZoomPrintPreviewExcel" />
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
<contextMenus>
<contextMenu idMso="ContextMenuCell">
<button id="MyButton" label="Zoom Cell" onAction="ZoomCell" imageMso="ZoomPrintPreviewExcel" insertBeforeMso="Cut" />
</contextMenu>
</contextMenus>
</customUI>
When I put your code in the CustomUI Editor and try to validate it, I get an error that "contextMenus" is not supported element in the CustomUI namespace, followed by a list of expected/allowable elements:
Allowable elements are:
qat
officeMenu
contextualTabs
It seems from THIS LINK (which is for Outlook, but I believe the approach would be same/similar for Excel/etc.) that context Menus are manipulated through VBA events in Office 2007.
I think that RibbonUI manipulation of context menus was not introduced until 2010.
I have created a custom ribbon in Microsoft Word but I am having issues attaching events to the buttons found in a ribbon. Below is my code:
UI XML:
<mso:cmd app="Word" dt="1" />
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon startFromScratch="true" >
<tabs>
<tab id="CustomTab" label="MyTasks" >
<group id="Group1" label="Details Labels">
<menu id="Menu1" label="Details" size="large">
<menu id="Menu21" label="Dates">
<button id="my_date" onAction="foo_eventhandler" label="Some Date" />
</menu>
</menu>
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>
I then have the following VBA code in Modules/NewMacros VBA code:
Sub foo_eventhandler(control As IRibbonControl)
End Sub
NOTE:
I import the XML by opening Word-->going to File-->Options-->Customize Ribbon-->Import/Export. I then select my XML file and import it.
When this code is run, though, I get the error "Argument Not Optional". If I run the same code without the "control As IRibbonControl" it's fine but I need to be able to get the Sender object. Anyone have any suggestions?

I think you are running into problems because you are importing the XML code via Options -> Customize Ribbon ->Import/Export. This method is really for general users who wish, for example, to never see the Page Layout tab and have it hidden. They can export their custom ribbon and import it onto new machines for the same layout.
For developers a better method is use the most excellent CustomUIEditor for Word and Excel. http://openxmldeveloper.org/blog/b/openxmldeveloper/archive/2009/08/07/7293.aspx
The steps you need to take are to create your normal macro enabled Word template (the .dotm) file and save it. Then open that file up in the CustomUIEditor and paste you XML (minus the first line). I've expanded your XML code with another button and I've added the tag to the XML so the VBA knows which button is being pressed.
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon startFromScratch="false" >
<tabs>
<tab id="CustomTab" label="MyTasks" >
<group id="Group1" label="Details Labels">
<menu id="Menu1" label="Details" size="large">
<menu id="Menu21" label="Dates">
<button id="my_date_1" onAction="foo_eventhandler" label="Some Date" tag="Date1" />
<button id="my_date_2" onAction="foo_eventhandler" label="Some Other Date" tag="Date2" />
</menu>
</menu>
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>
I generally put my Ribbon code in a Ribbon module. In your callback code you just need to use the .Tag property of the inputted control variable to know which button is pressed which you'll see corresponds to the tag in the XML. ie:
Sub foo_eventhandler(control As IRibbonControl)
MsgBox "Hooray! for " & control.Tag
End Sub
In XUL you can use create a status bar panel icon, similar to the ones used by Firebug and Greasemonkey, with the <statusbarpanel> tag. If you set the right class, you can throw a <menupop> inside, and then have a pop-up menu when the user clicks on the icon, like so ...
<statusbarpanel class="statusbarpanel-menu-iconic"
src="chrome://YourExtension/content/icon.png">
<menupopup>
<menuitem label="whatever" oncommand="doSomething();">
<menuitem label="whatever else" oncommand="doSomethingElse();">
</menupopup>
</statusbarpanel>
Now, with other pop-up menus, you can nest a series of menus using the menu tag:
<statusbarpanel class="statusbarpanel-menu-iconic"
src="chrome://YourExtension/content/icon.png">
<menu value="Old">
<menupopup>
<menuitem label="whatever" oncommand="doSomething();">
<menuitem label="whatever else" oncommand="doSomethingElse();">
</menupopup>
</menu>
<menu value="New>
<menupopup>
<menuitem label="yet another" oncommand="doYetAnotherSomething();">
</menupopup>
</menu>
</statusbarpanel>
but the above code doesn't actually work, because <statusbarpanel> won't allow a <menu> child (well, it will allow it, but not create the desired effect).
So, what I was wondering was ... is there any way I can make a status bar panel icon-triggered menu with multiple layers of menu items?
* EDIT *
Since I can't post this in the comment to the answer (and get syntax coloring and such), here's what finally worked for me (thanks Sathish!):
<statusbarpanel class="statusbarpanel-menu-iconic"
src="chrome://YourExtension/content/icon.png" popup="stausBarPanelMenu">
</statusbarpanel>
<popup id="statusBarPanelMenu" position="start_before">
<menu value="Old">
<menupopup>
<menuitem label="whatever" oncommand="doSomething();">
<menuitem label="whatever else" oncommand="doSomethingElse();">
</menupopup>
</menu>
<menu value="New>
<menupopup>
<menuitem label="yet another" oncommand="doYetAnotherSomething();">
</menupopup>
</menu>
</popop>
Oh, and as a side note to any XUL devs who might read this: you should really eliminate the "menupopup inside a statusbarpanel" style of pop-up. The style that answered this question is just as easy to learn/use, significantly more powerful, and it relies on the same popup mechanisms that can be used with the other XUL elements. This whole "menupopup inside a statusbarpanel" this is just a confusing, un-needed, anomaly.
Try this:
create a popup element like this:
<popup ... >
<menu ... >
<menupopup ... >
<menuitem ... >
</menupopup ... >
</menu>
</popup>
assign the id of popup element to the oncontextmenu attribute or show it dynamically using onclick event of the statusbarpanel element.
