opera.contexts.menu.addItem() and MenuItem.addItem()
From Opera 15 onward, Opera 11 & 12’s extension format is no longer supported, and instead, we’ve switched to Chromium’s extension model. Check out our new documentation for developing extensions for Opera 15 and higher and start building your own extensions.
Description
This method adds a MenuItem
to the context menu or a context menu item. The optional before
parameter can be specified to indicate where in the menu the item should be added. To create a MenuItem
see the createItem()
method.
Parameters:
item
: TheMenuItem
to be added.before (optional)
: The item before which the newMenuItem
should be added.
Syntax:
void addItem (<MenuItem> item, optional <MenuItem> before)
void addItem (<MenuItem> item, optional long before)
Example:
The example below creates and adds an item to the context menu. When it's clicked, the current page's URL is shown in the console.
<!--
The configuration file ('config.xml').

@Jayesh, only in that case you can influence the position.
AFAICS at the moment an extension item will be always added at the bottom of a menu which is a bit of a bogus.
