Have problems adding action group to welcome screen

Hello Boaz,

The Welcome screen currently has no special support for popup action groups.
To show a popup from the Welcome screen, you'll need to create it by yourself
using the JBPopupFactory API.

I'm trying to add an action group to tools menu and to welcome screen.

I'm adding this group as POPUP

<group
id="wfplugins.wftools.project_creator.CreateProjectsGroup"


text="Recreate Recently Project From template"
description="Recreate Recently Project From
template"
popup="true"
<add-to-group group-id="ToolsMenu" anchor="after"
relative-to-action="wf.tools.CreatProjectFromTemplate"/>
<add-to-group group-id="WelcomeScreen.QuickStart"
anchor="last"/>
</group>
On tools menu this work just fine. I can see the menu as a popup menu.
On the welcome screen, I can see my entry, but when I pressed on it
the popup menu does not appear.

I can see in debugger that 'public void update(AnActionEvent
anactionevent)' is called.

Can you help me with this.

Thanks Dmitry.

I can do that. The problem is that com.intellij.openapi.wm.impl.welcomeScreen.WelcomeScreen has no public method which i can add my action ?

Hello Boaz,

Thanks Dmitry.

You're registering the action correctly. You'll need to create a separate
class for the Welcome Screen version of the action, and to show the popup
from its actionPerformed() method.

Hi Dmitry.

Thanks, now it works.

I have bad time trying to display the popup.
First i tried the naive way:

InputEvent inputEvent = e.getInputEvent();
Component component = inputEvent.getComponent();
listpopup.showUnderneathOf(component);

But inputEvent is null.

So i wrote this, but i hardly can believe is should be so complicated:

• Component component2 = WindowManagerEx.getInstanceEx().getFocusedComponent((Project)null);

PointerInfo pi = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo();

Point absolute = pi.getLocation();

Point compCoords = component2.getLocationOnScreen();
Point point = new Point(absolute.x - compCoords.x,
absolute.y - compCoords.y);


SwingUtilities.convertPointToScreen(point, component2.getParent());
listpopup.showInScreenCoordinates(component2.getParent(), point);*

Thanks a lot for your support.

To whom is interested, the complete code:

@Override
public void actionPerformed(AnActionEvent e) {


CreateRecentlyProjectsGroup myGroup = (CreateRecentlyProjectsGroup)ActionManager.getInstance()
.getAction("wfplugins.wftools.project_creator.CreateRecentlyProjectsGroup");


DataContext datacontext = e.getDataContext();
JBPopupFactory popupFactory = JBPopupFactory.getInstance();
ListPopup listpopup =
popupFactory.createActionGroupPopup(null, myGroup, datacontext, ActionSelectionAid.NUMBERING, false);


InputEvent inputEvent = e.getInputEvent();

if (inputEvent != null) {
Component component = inputEvent.getComponent();
listpopup.showUnderneathOf(component);
} else {
Component component2 = WindowManagerEx.getInstanceEx().getFocusedComponent((Project)null);

PointerInfo pi = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo();

Point absolute = pi.getLocation();

Point compCoords = component2.getLocationOnScreen();
Point point = new Point(absolute.x - compCoords.x,
absolute.y - compCoords.y);


SwingUtilities.convertPointToScreen(point, component2.getParent());
listpopup.showInScreenCoordinates(component2.getParent(), point);
}
}

Regards
Boaz
