hi everybody,

I have a view and an editor. in the view is a tableviewer which shows all the data of my xmi-model. if i doubleclick on it, the editor will open with the description of the selected item.

So my problem is, i want to set the title with the name of the item. how can i implement it?

the default title of this editor can i set in the plugin.xml.

please help

normally you would use your editorinput for this?

hi martin,

yeah the selected item on the tableviewer will give as editorinput to the page.openEditor. but the title for the selected item is not setted on the editor title.

Try this method.
EditorPart:setPartName(String partName)

hi eclipse user,

i tried this, it works but if i want to do this dynamic for the selected item, how can i do this?

because i implement and handler for the doubleclicking via extension points and the editor too.

so if i click on the item in the tableviewer the HandlerService starts and call the method

page.openEditor(input, MyEditor.ID);

and it set the default name in the plugin.xml. how can I set on this place the selected item name?

Hi Chau,

It is like Q.S. Wang said. there is a method call setPartName(String). You
must call that in you init or wherever.

Chau,
Well there's no guarantee, but at least AbstractTextEditor is using
input.getName as the title. Please try to return the description of the
item there in the getName() method if the input is written by you.
