Commands, Actions, Handlers, and buttons [message #494519] Fri, 30 October 2009 20:42 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I have moved my actions into commands with handlers in anticipation that the
Action approach will eventually become deprecated. All is well when I am
attaching such commands to menus.

Unfortunately, I also need to have buttons and various other widgets carry
out certain actions - I would like this to be done with the same
AbstractHandlers that I have created for the menu commands.

How do I invoke the command handlers outside of menu situations?
Specifically, as the result of a button selection event?

Thanks.

- Mike

Sorry - stumbled into the answer. For others who may be confused, here is
code:

selectPatientButton.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
public void widgetSelected(final SelectionEvent e) {
IHandlerService handlerService = (IHandlerService)
getSite().getService(IHandlerService.class);
try {

handlerService.executeCommand("edu.utah.cdmcc.commands.SelectPatient ",
null);
} catch (ExecutionException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (NotDefinedException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (NotEnabledException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (NotHandledException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
