Entry generators generate subentries of a context menu entry, based on the selected object. The EntryGenerators package allows you to add entry generators to the context menu module using the EntryGenerators:-Add command.  It also allows you to view a list of entry generator names by using the EntryGenerators:-List command. Additionally, you can obtain the procedure associated with an entry generator name by using the EntryGenerators:-Get command.

Entry generators can be used to dynamically generate subentries to obtain extra information from the user.  To set an entry to use a given entry generator, set the 'entry_generator' option for the entry to the name of the entry generator.

Each command in the EntryGenerators package can be accessed by using either the long form or the short form of the command name in the command calling sequence.

The long form, EntryGenerators:-command, is always available. The short form can be used after loading the package.

The following is a list of available commands.
