4.8.5 Add Command to Context Menu

You can find context menus in each view of the Site Manager. In this chapter, you will learn how to add a command to a context menu which belongs to a property editor. The steps shown in the next table will add the command to a menu belonging to a link list editor. The name of the menu is "linklist-menu" and your command will be added at the end of the menu.

Step	Description
1	Extend the property editor for which you want to add your command
	`public class MyLinkListEditor extends GenericLinkListEditor {`
2	Overwrite the `getComponent` method
	`public JComponent getComponent() {`
3	Call the `getComponent` method of the parent class to create the default behavior
	`super.getComponent();`
4	Get the references to the manager components and register your command as described in Section 4.8.1, “Register Commands”.
	`CommandManager commandMgr = Services.getCommandManager(context);` `PopupMenuManager popupMenuMgr = Services.getPopupMenuManager(context);` `ListenerManager listenerMgr = Services.getListenerManager(context);` `commandMgr.registerCommand("My-Command", new MyCommand());`
5	Add a separator and your command to the end of the pop-up menu
	`popupMenuMgr.addItemAfter("linklist-menu", moveBottomCommand, listenerMgr.createMenuSeparator("Custom"));` `popupMenuMgr.addItemAfter("linklist-menu", "Custom", listenerMgr.createPopupMenuItem("My-Command"));`
6	Return the `JComponent` to the `Site Manager`
	`return this;` `}`
