What is the best way to do "context aware" menu for table in Eclipse scout.

For example, lets assume that table has boolean row "Additional", and we want :

if Additional is true show menu :

Edit
Add
Additional

if false 

Edit 
Add
Delete

How to do this ?

From Eclipse Scout 4 and newer: What you want is to override execOwnerValueChanged(Object) on your menu items. You will be passed a List<ITableRow> as argument with which you can decide if the menu item should be visible/enabled.

I'd suggest you create 2 menu items for Delete and Additional and then implement the solution above.
