In ACL language, how to activate a customized menu depending on the context

[dgopois]

Hello,

Under Arbortext Editor and  with ACL language, I would like to activate a customized menu (grayed or not) depending on the context. For example, if the cursor of the mouse is in a specific tag, the customized menu is activated. If not, the menu is disabled (grayed).

Hello,

We can use this function to active or not the menu:

function activeMenu() {
if (in_context("tagname") != 1) {
return 0;
}
return 1;
}

and use the command lines to add the menu:

menu_add -menu -before .Help 'TEST';

menu_add .TEST. "TEST1" -cmd { test() } \
-active "activeMenu() == 1";

Best regards
