I have to open arbitrary editors in my RCP app programmatically. But the
user mustn't modify the content. is it possible to set the editor
unmodifiable?

Don't implement doSave().

Also do:
public boolean isDirty() {
return false;
}

In this way users never could save anything.

Good Luck!

Yes this is the way how I can do it if I implement the editors by my
own. But the editors already exist and I can I don't know which editors
will be opened before.

Can you take over the control of opening editor process? What's the way
of open the editor? Double click in eclipse view, e.g. Project explorer,
or via you own action?

I think it's possible if you can take over the opening process. Can you
let me know more details?

Hi Wang,
yes I have control of opening the editor.

IWorkbenchPage page = window.getActivePage();
IEditorInput input = // generically determine input
String editorID = // determine id for input
IEditorPart editorPart = page.openEditor(input, newEditorID);

Input and id definitely belong together. I searched in the editorPart
for possibilities of setting it unmodifiable but without success. Do you
have an idea?

Hi Gilbert,
Sorry I didn't check new group at weekend :)
I assume the input is an IFileEditorInput.

1. You need write a FileEditorInput wrapper.

2. File Wrapper which indicates all files as readonly.

The idea is that in the FileEditorInput wrapper delegates all the method
to the warpped FileEditorInput, but overwrite the getFile method. In the
getFile method, return the read only file wrapper.

Since all other methods are just delegating to the original one, it'll
not affect the normal file opening process. The only change is that all
files will be marked as read only, so that the editor will be read only
as well.

Hope this is clear.

Cheers

Hi Wang,
yes this is clear. I imagined that it is possible with a wrapper but I
thought there is a setModifiable method or something similar anywhere ;)
Thanks so much.

best regards,
Gilbert
