I wrote an extension which shows information in the context menu of Writer.

It doesn’t work anymore with LO 4.1. This is a regression.

I implemented my own XContextMenuInterceptor with notifyContextMenuExecute which create new entries to the context menu, then I return the proper value: com.sun.star.ui.ContextMenuInterceptorAction.EXECUTE_MODIFIED

But nothing happens. The extension works properly until it returns the value.

Here is the simplified code (in Python) :


import uno
import unohelper
import re

from com.sun.star.task import XJob
from com.sun.star.task import XJobExecutor
from com.sun.star.ui import XContextMenuInterceptor
from com.sun.star.beans import PropertyValue
    
class MyContextMenuInterceptor (XContextMenuInterceptor, unohelper.Base):
    def __init__ (self, ctx):
        self.ctx = ctx

    def notifyContextMenuExecute (self, xEvent):
        try:
            xContextMenu = xEvent.ActionTriggerContainer
            if (xContextMenu):
                i = xContextMenu.Count

                xMenuItem = xContextMenu.createInstance("com.sun.star.ui.ActionTrigger")
                xMenuItem.setPropertyValue("Text", u"MY INFORMATION")
                xContextMenu.insertByIndex(i, xMenuItem)

                print("it goes and works until there")
                # The controller should execute the modified context menu and stop notifying other interceptors.
                return uno.getConstantByName("com.sun.star.ui.ContextMenuInterceptorAction.EXECUTE_MODIFIED")
        except:
            traceback.print_exc()
        return uno.getConstantByName("com.sun.star.ui.ContextMenuInterceptorAction.IGNORED")

        
class JobExecutor (XJob, unohelper.Base):
    def __init__ (self, ctx):
        self.ctx = ctx
        
    def execute (self, args):
        if not args:
            return
        
        # what event?
        bCorrectEvent = False
        for arg in args:
            if arg.Name == "Environment":
                for v in arg.Value:
                    if v.Name == "EnvType" and v.Value == "DOCUMENTEVENT":
                        bCorrectEvent = True
                    elif v.Name == "EventName":
                        pass
                        # check is correct event
                        #print "Event: %s" % v.Value
                    elif v.Name == "Model":
                        model = v.Value
        if bCorrectEvent:
            if model.supportsService("com.sun.star.text.TextDocument"):
                xController = model.getCurrentController()
                if xController:
                    xController.registerContextMenuInterceptor(MyContextMenuInterceptor(self.ctx))


g_ImplementationHelper = unohelper.ImplementationHelper()
g_ImplementationHelper.addImplementation(JobExecutor, "grammalecte.ContextMenuHandler", ("grammalecte.ContextMenuHandler",),)
