revHookBuildScriptEditorContextMenu

[John Craig]

I just double checked with community 6.0.2 and it works fine.

Set up 2 frontscripts with something like the foloowing code.  Stick a 
slightly different message in each one for identification of which is which.
When right clicking in the editor, you'll see both customizations are 
there and they both work as expected.

HTH

John.



on revHookBuildScriptEditorContextMenu pObject, pSelectedText, @pText, 
pModifiedText
    put "Script Editor Customization" & LF & "-" & LF before pText
    pass revHookBuildScriptEditorContextMenu
end revHookBuildScriptEditorContextMenu


on revHookScriptEditorContextMenuPick pItem
     if pItem = "Script Editor Customization" then
       answer "Run your custom code!"
       exit to top
    end if
    pass revHookScriptEditorContextMenuPick
end revHookScriptEditorContextMenuPick
