Create an context menu item to open a file on a specific display

Hello,
I have an external display connected to my MBP, but I don't always need to use it so it's not always on. I'd like to have a way to open a file (or application) on a specified display on a case by case basis. I know that I can assign an application to open on a specific display by right-clicking on the app in the dock and selecting options->assign to. The problem with this is that it's a global change. When I'm working on school work, I usually like to have reference material (pdfs, wepages, etc) open on the external display while I'm working in Word on the MBPs monitor.
What I'd like to be able to do is right click on the file (or app) and use a context menu item to open the item on a specific display. Does anyone know of an automator action/applescript/terminal command to create a context menu item like this?
Thanks.

I use "Open Terminal Here" script for that:

Is it possible to change "link" context menu items' order (I want "open in new window.." be the first) ?

I made an upgrade FF from v3.6.xx to v17.0.x and found that "Link" context menu items' order is not the same.
v3.6 menu looks as following: 1."Open Link in new Window", 2."Open Link in new Tab",
v17.0 menu items' order is opposit 1."Open Link in new Tab",2."Open Link in new Window",
All other items' position are uninteresting for me.
How to swap this two upper items in "link" context menu?

Both ways are useful:
* Menu Editor [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/]
'Drag-n-drop' in editor window is working.

Kill "Open page in Internet Explorer" context menu item?

This context menu item appears when I right-click/secondary-click links in Safari. Can I get rid of this?
I believe this was added by Parallels Desktop 9, which I have since uninstalled.
Stupid little thing, but it's bugging me. Especially when I click that choice by mistake (Yes, I am an OS X/Mac n00b.)

Is it possible to create a checkmark next to a context menu item in a Tree in LabVIEW?

Hello,
I'm creating a custom application where a particular context menu will be shown to the user depending on what item in the Tree they have right-clicked on. One of the items in the menu that I would like to display is essentially a "Disable" option. I'm looking for a way to show the user the current state of this Disable option by providing a checkmark next to it if they have already clicked it for a particular item in the tree. Here's a screenshot of a similar checkmark from the LabVIEW dev environment drop-down menus:
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a context menu with a checkmark like the one above in a Tree in LabVIEW? I've tried searching the web and here in the NI forums but without much luck. Thanks!

Wow, I know this one!
I used it a couple of years ago (LV 8.6)
There is an option to "Set Menu Item Info" that allows you to set the check for a context menu item.
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/glang/set_menu_item_info/
I used it in my Tree
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

Looking for a 'view link target source' context menu item

I'm looking for a 'view link target source' context menu item.
I often open listings of servers' directories; they can include direct links to code files (*.py , *.pl, etc). When I click them directly, I'm asked to open them with an external editor which is not what I want to do; I want to view those files source inside of Firefox. I currently have to
# right-click those links,
# copy link location,
# type "view-source:" in the Location bar,
# paste the copied URL,
# click Go.
This gets time-consuming with the large amount of URLs I need to open.
It's not a native feature for Firefox and a search at [http://addons.mozilla.org AMO] didn't come up with anything useful, for me at least.

Hello,
particularly, I performed the following steps:
1. I created a SC in the local repository, which matches the SC of the track.
2. I moved the exisiting DCs to the SC created in step 1.
3. Now, I created new DCs in the SC in the track.
4. I deleted all .project files from the local DCs.
5. I copied all source files from the local DCs to the new track DCs.
6. I checked-in these changes to the track.
Kind regards

How to create a context menu in ALV table cell editor(Webdynpro abap )

Hello Experts,
I am having a problem in creating a context menu in a table cell editor in the ALV table output.I have assigned a 'lta' as the cell editor.But befor assigning the lta as cell editor I have assigned the menu to the lta.But when the view is rendered I can see the lta with the actioned assigned to it.But I cannot see the context menu.
The code snippet below:
"Create menu for each coloumn
create OBJECT lo_menu_actions type CL_SALV_WD_VE_MENU EXPORTING
      id = 'MITM_ACTIONS'.
lo_menu_actions->set_visible( value = abap_true ).
lo_menu_actions->set_visible_fieldname( value = 'ACTIONS' ).
"ADd menu items
CREATE OBJECT lo_menu_item_create type CL_SALV_WD_VE_MENU
exporting
    id = 'MITM_CREATE_EXPRESSION'.
lo_menu_item_create->set_visible( value = abap_true ).
lo_menu_item_create->set_visible_fieldname( value = 'Create' ).
"Add item 1
lo_menu_actions->ADD_ITEM( VALUE = lo_menu_item_create ).
" Set the cell editor for each column cell(link to an action)
LOOP AT lt_node_dec_tab_cols INTO ls_node_dec_tab_cols .
    lv_column_name = ls_node_dec_tab_cols-object_name.
    lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( lv_column_name ).
   "Create 'lta' Ui item
    CREATE OBJECT lo_lta TYPE cl_salv_wd_uie_link_to_action.
    lo_lta->set_menu( value = lo_menu_actions ).
    lo_lta->set_text_fieldname( lv_column_name ).
    lr_column->set_cell_editor( lo_lta ).
    IF ls_node_dec_tab_cols-is_result EQ abap_true.
      lr_column->set_cell_design( value =
                  cl_wd_table_column=>e_cell_design-key_medium ).
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Hi Prakash,
I have not come across this requirement till now to have context menu in a cell editor of alv.
Unfortunately the implementation of method SET_MENU of alv ui elements ( ex: cl_salv_wd_uie_text_view ) is not updating alv configurable table, instead it just stores in a global attribute as string. Hence has no effect on context menu.
If your user is very particular about this requirement of having context menu in cell editor, you can go for a normal table. Because, normal table's cell editor has the property to set the menuID as we do it for other ui elements.

Rama

TableView Context Menu Item shows up when run on Java 8 until update 5 but not on later ones

The code below runs as its name says on Java 8 update 5 but not on later ones:

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) {
        TableColumn<Name, String> column = new TableColumn<>("Name");
        column.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<>("name"));

        ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();
        contextMenu.getItems().add(new MenuItem("append"));

        table.setRowFactory(tableView -> {

            row.contextMenuProperty().bind(

                            .otherwise((ContextMenu) null));
            return row;
        Scene scene = new Scene(table);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    private ContextMenu showOnlyAppendContextMenuItemIfRowIsEmptyElseIncludeDelete() {
        ContextMenu rowMenu = new ContextMenu();
        ContextMenu tableMenu = table.getContextMenu();
        if (tableMenu != null)
            rowMenu.getItems().addAll(tableMenu.getItems());
        rowMenu.getItems().add(new MenuItem("delete"));
        return rowMenu;
    public static class Name {
        private final SimpleStringProperty name;
        private Name(String name) {
            this.name = new SimpleStringProperty(name);
        public String getName() {
            return name.get();
        public void setName(String name) {
            this.name.set(name);
Can help me find the error in the code? Or if there is none, is this a regression that should be submitted? As of now, all the PCs in use have 8u5.
Thanks in advance.

pasted below:
The fix is to create new menu items that are copies of the ones in the table's context menu:
private ContextMenu showOnlyAppendContextMenuItemIfRowIsEmptyElseIncludeDelete() {
ContextMenu rowMenu = new ContextMenu();
ContextMenu tableMenu = table.getContextMenu();
if (tableMenu != null) {
for (MenuItem item : tableMenu.getItems()) {
MenuItem rowItem = new MenuItem(item.getText());
rowItem.setGraphic(item.getGraphic());
rowItem.setOnAction(item.getOnAction());
rowMenu.getItems().add(rowItem);
rowMenu.getItems().add(new MenuItem("delete"));
return rowMenu;

How to change the default position of context menu item? (C#)

Hi,
I have included a calendar context menu item with my Outlook Addin. But by default, its positioned at the last as shown in the picture below:
I need a way to make it as the fourth item instead of last one. Also, I want set an icon for the same. How can I do that?
Appreciate if you can give some sample examples.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Prasad

Hello Prasad,
The
Customizing Context Menus in Office 2010 article in MSDN describes the basics.
You can specify the IdMso value of the built-in control after/before you need to insert your own:
<button id="MyBtn" label="MyButton" insertBeforeMso="OpenSelectedItems" />
See
Office 2013 Help Files: Office Fluent User Interface Control Identifiers
for IdMso values.

How do I create a context menu in the new ALV object model (cl_salv_table)?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to create a context menu (right click on line or field) in the new ALV object model (class CL_SALV_TABLE)?
Thanks in advance
Keld Gregersen
PS: In the past we could use event CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST in class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID, so it must be possible

I don't think there's "any such animal" in the new class. I'm not 100% certain however but the new class is only useful for fairly simple display only type grids.
There's no edit capability either.
I'd stick with cl_gui_alv_grid until there's some decent extra functionality in the cl_salv_table class.
It's fine for quick "bog standard" displays as it doesn't need a field catalog or any screens to be created by the user or developer - but you pay a price for that in limited fnctionality.

How to create a context menu which appears on right click

Hello Experts,
I want to create a context menu which should appear on the right click of a mouse anywhere on the screen.
I have seen this functionality in one of the sap applications, and i guess this is an inbuild functionality in Webdynpro for ABAP but in WebDynpro Java i haven't found any such inbuild functionality.
Does anybody have any idea about it ?

Prem,
First of all, Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums!
If you get no response here you may want to post your question over in the iPod Discussion Forums for the quickest response.
Pick the forum of the iPod in question (Usage).
Just thought that might get you a better/quicker response than here.
good luck,
