[Solved] Basic - Python? / Intercept context menu

[sng]

Hi all

I have a writer extension I would like to intercept the context menu and add a submenu with a number of items

I have found this basic code, which can add an item on the context menu, but no submenu.

Then I remembered hanya's example called InterceptContextMenu, which is in python, and i believe i can make it add a submenu.

I have copied the code to a file called contextmenu.py, but the thing is that i cannot "activate" it from within the extension. I tried adding to the manifest.xml:

Code: Select all

<manifest:file-entry manifest:media-type="application/vnd.sun.star.uno-component;type=Python" manifest:full-path="contextmenu.py"/>

but when i try to install it i get an error (I don't have it right now but i can get it if needed).

How do i activate this code in the extension?

I have managed to solve it myself

I have included the code

Code: Select all

controller = doc.getCurrentController()
    controller.registerContextMenuInterceptor(SheetTabContextMenuInterceptor(doc))

within a python function in my cmi.py file presented in my previous post Auto execute BASIC macro from python

It was that easy

This proves that i'm hopeless with python (but at least i'm trying...)

Marked as solved

BTW, the code already creates a submenu so I'm pleased
