Field Value
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to create a custom MenuCommandService. In this example, a context menu is created when the ShowContextMenu
is called. In the GetSelectionMenuItems
method, the WorkflowMenuCommands class is utilized to associate the proper menu commands provided by the workflow designer with their corresponding text. When this is finished, an event handler is associated with each command so that when the command is selected, the appropriate MenuCommand
is invoked.
internal sealed class WorkflowMenuCommandService : MenuCommandService
{
public WorkflowMenuCommandService(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
: base(serviceProvider)
{
}
public override void ShowContextMenu(CommandID menuID, int x, int y)
{
if (menuID == WorkflowMenuCommands.SelectionMenu)
{
ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();
foreach (DesignerVerb verb in Verbs)
{
MenuItem menuItem = new MenuItem(verb.Text, new EventHandler(OnMenuClicked));
menuItem.Tag = verb;
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(menuItem);
}
MenuItem[] items = GetSelectionMenuItems();
if (items.Length > 0)
{
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("-"));
foreach (MenuItem item in items)
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(item);
}
WorkflowView workflowView = GetService(typeof(WorkflowView)) as WorkflowView;
if (workflowView != null)
contextMenu.Show(workflowView, workflowView.PointToClient(new Point(x, y)));
}
}
private MenuItem[] GetSelectionMenuItems()
{
List<MenuItem> menuItems = new List<MenuItem>();
bool addMenuItems = true;
ISelectionService selectionService = GetService(typeof(ISelectionService)) as ISelectionService;
if (selectionService != null)
{
foreach (object obj in selectionService.GetSelectedComponents())
{
if (!(obj is Activity))
{
addMenuItems = false;
break;
}
}
}
if (addMenuItems)
{
Dictionary<CommandID, string> selectionCommands = new Dictionary<CommandID, string>();
selectionCommands.Add(WorkflowMenuCommands.Cut, "Cut");

To enable this service, call the AddService
method of the LoaderHost property in a WorkflowDesignerLoader class as shown in the following example.
protected override void Initialize()
{
base.Initialize();
IDesignerLoaderHost host = this.LoaderHost;
if (host != null)
{
host.RemoveService(typeof(IIdentifierCreationService));
host.AddService(typeof(IIdentifierCreationService), new IdentifierCreationService(host));
host.AddService(typeof(IMenuCommandService), new WorkflowMenuCommandService(host));
host.AddService(typeof(IToolboxService), new Toolbox(host));
TypeProvider typeProvider = new TypeProvider(host);
typeProvider.AddAssemblyReference(typeof(string).Assembly.Location);
host.AddService(typeof(ITypeProvider), typeProvider, true);
host.AddService(typeof(IEventBindingService), new EventBindingService());
}
}
Protected Overrides Sub Initialize()
MyBase.Initialize()
Dim host As IDesignerLoaderHost = Me.LoaderHost
If host IsNot Nothing Then
host.RemoveService(GetType(IIdentifierCreationService))
host.AddService(GetType(IIdentifierCreationService), New IdentifierCreationService(host))
host.AddService(GetType(IMenuCommandService), New WorkflowMenuCommandService(host))
host.AddService(GetType(IToolboxService), New Toolbox(host))
Dim typeProvider As New TypeProvider(host)
typeProvider.AddAssemblyReference(GetType(String).Assembly.Location)
host.AddService(GetType(ITypeProvider), typeProvider, True)
host.AddService(GetType(IEventBindingService), New EventBindingService())

Remarks
The selection menu is typically used to manage a selection within the workflow.
