Dynamical context menu and "Context menu" in preferences Options

[K_S]

I want to add dynamic context menu. I tried this and that, and finally - when I got context menu called 'Legacy Command (unsorted)' - I must admit I need help.

I have a cfg_objList, storing structs 'pict_prefs'

CODE

struct pict_prefs {
    pfc::string8 cfg_Name;//Unique for each object pict_prefs
    pfc::string8 cfg_DefPath;
    GUID guid;
//(...)
};
//FB2K_STREAM_WRITER/READER_OVERLOAD, defPictPrefs etc.
cfg_objList<pict_prefs> g_cfg_PictPrefs(guid_cfg_PictPrefs, defPictPrefs);

I can add, change and delete stored pict_prefs in preferences, and of course number of pict_prefs is variable.

I'm creating context menu with this code:

CODE

static const GUID guid_mygroup_menu = //(...)

class my_contextmenu_leaf : public contextmenu_item_node_root_leaf{
public:
my_contextmenu_leaf(unsigned p_index) : m_index(p_index){ }

bool get_display_data(pfc::string_base & p_out, unsigned & p_displayflags, metadb_handle_list_cref p_data, const GUID & p_caller) {
p_out = g_cfg_PictPrefs.get_item( m_index ).cfg_Name;
return true;
}

void execute(metadb_handle_list_cref p_data,const GUID & p_caller){
//(...)
}

bool get_description(pfc::string_base & p_out){
p_out = "Downloading pictures of ";
p_out += g_cfg_PictPrefs.get_item( m_index ).cfg_Name;
return true;
}

GUID get_guid(){
return g_cfg_PictPrefs.get_item( m_index ).guid;
// return pfc::guid_null;//With guid_null works too. Which one is correct version?
}

bool is_mappable_shortcut(){ return true; }
private:
unsigned m_index;
};

class contextmenu_popup : public contextmenu_item_node_root_popup
{
public:
contextmenu_popup(){ }

bool get_display_data(pfc::string_base & p_out,unsigned & p_displayflags,metadb_handle_list_cref p_data,const GUID & p_caller){
p_out="Download picture";
return true;
}

t_size get_children_count(){
return g_cfg_PictPrefs.get_size();
}

contextmenu_item_node * get_child(t_size p_index){
return new my_contextmenu_leaf(p_index);//I hope this is correct
}

GUID get_guid(){
return guid_mygroup_menu;
}

bool is_mappable_shortcut(){
return true;
}
};


class pictdownload_contextmenu : public contextmenu_item_v2{
public:
unsigned get_num_items(){
return 1;//Maybe I should check if g_cfg_PictPrefs.get_size() == 0...
}

contextmenu_item_node_root * instantiate_item (unsigned p_index, metadb_handle_list_cref p_data, const GUID &p_caller){
return new contextmenu_popup();
}

GUID get_item_guid (unsigned p_index){
return guid_mygroup_menu;
}

void get_item_name (unsigned p_index, pfc::string_base &p_out){
p_out = "Download picture";
}

bool get_item_description (unsigned p_index, pfc::string_base &p_out){
p_out = "Downloading pictures from Google";
return true;
}

t_enabled_state get_enabled_state (unsigned p_index){
return contextmenu_item::DEFAULT_ON;
}

void item_execute_simple (unsigned p_index, const GUID &p_node, metadb_handle_list_cref p_data, const GUID &p_caller){
// Is this function ever called?
}
};

static contextmenu_item_factory_t<pictdownload_contextmenu> g_myitem_factory;

My menu works, but I have a problem with 'Preferences/Display - Context Menu'. Now it shows only checkbox with "Download picture" and description "Downloading pictures from Google". I can disable/enable only my whole menu. How to add 'submenu', with list of menu options?

Additional questions:

- about my_contextmenu_leaf ::get_guid - can I return pfc::guid_null without problems? Is 'guid' field in pict_prefs necessary? I think it's necessary for disabling/enabling menu leafs in 'Preferences/Display - Context Menu' (when somebody shows me how to do this), but maybe I'm wrong?

- about pictdownload_contextmenu::item_execute_simple - is this function ever executed?

I have done simular dynamic context menus as you did.
void item_execute_simple () is called when menu command is bind to the toolbar button.
