Hello everyone

I'm trying to retrieve all open views that are currently open in a workbench. I have several perspectives open in which I've opened some views. So far I've failed to get all of them at once. I couldn't even find out of how to get all open views from a certain perspective. Does anyone know how this could be done?

Thanks a lot.

I don't know if you can get a list of all Open views, here's a way I test if a view is open.

	IWorkbenchPage activePage = PlatformUI.getWorkbench()
				.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
		IViewPart view = activePage.findView(viewID);

		if (view != null) {
                   View is open
		}

Now you will have to map it with your perspective.

You can only find out the views open in the active perspective in a window. Inactive perspectives don't usually tell you anything. Given that, the method you want is org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPage.getViewReferences()

So, if i want to close specific Workbench views (and i do), i have to:

1) iterate over ALL the Perspectives
2) SET the perspective (make it active)
3) iterate over all the perspective views

?

Thanks.
