add a "console-like" view to the diagram [message #468194]

Hi! in my diagram, now I have an editor (where add nodes and links), an
overview and the property sheet. I would add another view where write the
log. Now I use the console and the System.out.print , but when I will
build my rcp, I would use a view for the log.

I saw that views are in DiagramEditorPerspective, but I think that the
standard views of IPageLayout can't meet my requirement. How can I create
my view?

Thanks,

Daniele.

You can create you own custom view (there are tens of tutorials about it
in the Internet) or use Eclipse's standard "Error Log".

I've tried to add a view adding an extension in the manifest. I used the
"sample view" of the GMF. Ok... it works. But I need to use this view to
print some events. How can I link the model with the view? I read that I
have to use the content provider.

This is the content-provider of the Sample View

=======================================================
class ViewContentProvider implements IStructuredContentProvider {
public void inputChanged(Viewer v, Object oldInput, Object newInput) {
}
public void dispose() {
}
public Object[] getElements(Object parent) {
return new String[] { "One", "Two", "Three" };
}
=======================================================

but I don't understand what is oldinput and newinput... and how modify
the method.

mm... i read the article. yes, it was useful to understanding better the
way it works, but I can't yet do what i want to do.
In the example, views are linked among them. I need to link a view to a
Class that is not a view, but it's an external class. I want to use the
view like a console, to print the log.

oook!! problem solved!! I just create a static method "refresh" in the
view.

refresh(String event) add the event to the view, and I use the method
"viewer.setInput("null"); " to refresh grafically the table. that's work
fine, and I can invoke the method wherever I want, simply by

SampleView.refresh(event);

bye
