Extend default transformation action
Hi,
We're currently migrating our project to 3.4.4, and I'm trying to understand the new features. I'd like to extend the action "InstanceMethodDeclaration_TransformationMenu", which transforms an InstanceMethodDeclaration into a StaticMethodDeclaration. I added the following contribution:
The contribution adds a second menu item "static". Is it also possible to run a contribution together with the default transformation (i.e., typing "static", which then executes the default action and the extension)?
Thanks,
Ben

Or is it possible to override the default behavior somehow?
Hi Ben,
Contribution may only add new actions to the completion/side-transform menu.
For overriding the default behaviour you may define the new editor for the InstanceMethodDeclaration and attach the transformation menu to the specific cells.
Hi Semen,
thanks! I already tried what you've proposed. For test purposes, I even added my new transformation menu to all cells of the InstanceMethodDeclaration editor. However, in 50% of the cases code completion still shows the default menu (defined in BaseLanguage). In fact, my named transformation menu looks as follows:
I added the transformation menu to all cells of an InstanceMethodDeclaration editor. For instance:
Notice that it is not clear to me why the error (TestMenu is out of search scope) appears!
Then in the code I get the correct result here:
But the default menu still appears here:
Thanks!
Ben,
Setting the transformation menu for the child cells is not working well in some cases. We are working on it.
As a workaround I can suggest you attaching the transformation menu for the editor of visibility (with your custom hints).
Semen,
Good idea! Thanks a lot!
