Hello!

The method IWorkbenchPage.getEditorReferences() returns the array of open editors but not in an order of their tabs oder (for instance when I change this order manually by mouse).
How to get the information of the editors tab order?

Thank you.

There's no way to get the editors in tab order in Eclipse 3.x. That information is buried in the implementation details of the default presentation: org.eclipse.ui.internal.presentations.util.TabbedStackPresentation.getPartList()

In Eclipse 4.1, the model contains the editor references in tab order.

Thank you for answer! I am waiting for Eclipse 4.1 Smile

.

Also one question...

The text or image of a menu item (created as a commands) can be updated in updateElement() method in IElementUpdater interface implemented in handler of a command based on AbstractHandler class. But how to update the menu text which contains such item? The way similar to update the item text don't work...

Yes, that's true.

You mean how do you update the containing Menu? There is no API for that.

Text of menu items (as commands) can be updated in the updateElement() method implemented into the handler of a command. Menus (not items, such as "File", "Edit" etc.) has no command but I need to update their texts programmically too...
Which is the right way. Of course, I can do it directly via the MenuMeneger but I think it is not right way in RCP.
