<p>Use console.log to check your code is being called at the right time.<br />
Also search for contextualActionsAboutToShow in other code and then you'll have a reference you can copy.</p></div>

<p>It is being called at the right time (I can see the output):</p>
<div class="remarkup-code-block" style="margin: 12px 0;" data-code-lang="text" data-sigil="remarkup-code-block"><pre class="remarkup-code" style="font: 11px/15px "Menlo", "Consolas", "Monaco", monospace; padding: 12px; margin: 0; background: rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08);">onVisualParentChanged: {
if (visualParent) {
...
console.log("Call contextualActionsAboutToShow");
currentApplet.applet.contextualActionsAboutToShow();
}
}</pre></div>
<p>And it should only show the button if there are specific alternatives:</p>
