Switching Presentations on the fly, programmatically? [message #554288]

Hey guys,

So I have a core plug-in which includes other plug-ins(modules). Each module has it's own perspective and I want each module to define its own presentation factory so it can customize its own views. Is this possible programmatically?

So in my ModulePerspective.createInitialLayout I can do:

PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setDefault(IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.PRESENTATION_FACTORY_ID, "modulePresFactory");

But this will not actually cause the new presentation to be loaded. Any ideas on how to make this happen?

Thanks again!

There's one presentation for the workbench, and it must be available
before the stacks are created.

If you want per presentation modularity you must write one presentation
that is extensible by you, and have that manage which stacks to create
per presentation.

Thanks again Paul. I did just what you said.

Also I am allowing every module to contribute it's own presentation. This is done via an extension point from my platform module.
If anyone has interest in this PM me and I will post the solution!

Thanks!

eshvar60, pls post your solution.

I have a problem that when I switch a perspective, I always get a error dialog:

Problems opening perspective "xxxx.perspecitve".

How to fix this?

thank you very much!

Hey Boyee,

Are you looking for a solution to custom presentations or just general information about switching perspectives?

Perhaps you should post your code/error in a new topic for that?
