How to get one command to affect the visibility of another command? [message #488428]

Hi,

I've created two commands using the command framework.
I would like the second command to only be visible when the first command is toggled.

I've gotten very close by using a property tester triggered by the variable "selection". The problem is that when I press the button that triggers the first action, there is no change in selection, so my property tester does not get called. I have to manually change the selection to trigger the visibility to change.

Is there something I can do programatically to get the platform to re-check the visibility requirement of a command so that my property tester gets called when I need?

Thanks

Marc

org.eclipse.ui.services.IEvaluationService.requestEvaluation (String) will request a re-evaluation of all expressions using the property.
