Description Greg Adams

ID:   RATLC00012194   Priority: 2
Headline:   Unable to change the label of the Delete menu 

Description:
The label of Delete menu needs to be changed.

In Eclipse, this requires the global Delete action to be a LabelRetargetAction (instead of
RetargetAction in R0.9).


NOTES:

[CL (8/27/01 9:32:52 AM)] In Rose, there are two types of Delete commands that can be 
	performed on a diagram -- Delete from Model and Delete from Diagram.  We want to be able to 
	rename Delete to be one of them, and add the other one ourselves.

GDA(8/27/01 9:32:49 AM)> Why not just use delete for delete in diagram since this is likely what a user would expect when they are working in the diagram.
This is unlikely to be visited before 1.0 so the alternative probably makes sense.

1) The ability to change the Delete-action's label is needed not solely for 
Rose, but in almost any editor (other than a text-editor) that any plugin might 
contain. 

2) It would also be good to be able to change or remove the key-binding 
programmatically (sometimes "Delete" is in use in the editor to mean one thing, 
and the "global" Delete-action in the editor-menu is intended to mean another).

attach/hook/whatever our Action to existing main-menu item?"

It seems to me that the use-case here would be better solved by not reusing the generic Delete action and by creating 2 specific Delete actions. The Platform should have all the necessary things to prevent an unrelevant "Delete" command to be shown.
