Adding preferences to an extension - Archive of obsolete content
the first step is to add the context attribute to the status bar panel: <statusbar id="status-bar"> <statusbarpanel id="stockwatcher2" label="loading..." context="stockmenu" onclick="stockwatcher.refreshinformation()" /> </statusbar> now when the user clicks on the status bar panel, the stock information refreshes, but when they right-click on it, a context menu pops up.
...all we need to do is add a popupset describing the menu to the statusbar, as follows: <popupset> <menupopup id="stockmenu"> <menuitem label="refresh now" default="true" oncommand="stockwatcher.refreshinformation()"/> <menuseparator/> <menuitem label="apple (aapl)" oncommand="stockwatcher.watchstock('aapl')"/> <menuitem label="google (goog)" oncommand="stockwatcher.watchstock('goog')"/> <menuitem label="microsoft (msft)" oncommand="stockwatcher.watchstock('msft')"/> <menuitem label="yahoo!
