How to make perspective invisible for user [message #511024]

Hi,

I have problem with hiding perspective in Eclipse RCP Application. I want to make perspective invisible for user (dynamically). It means that perspective should be not visible in 'Perspectives' toolbar and 'Open Perspective' dialog (user can't open perspective). I have found how to hide perspective:

IPerspectiveDescriptor pd = ... // perspective to hide
PerspectiveRegistry pr = (PerspectiveRegistry) PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getPerspectiveRegistry();
pr.removeExtension(null, pd);

but I don't know how to make it accessible for user again (perspective visible in 'Perspectives' toolbar and 'Open Perspective' dialog).

Any ideas ??

Thanks in advance,

Miłosz

Your best bet is to use activities. A disabled activity will hide the
perspective, and enabling it will make it visible.

The problem is you've simply removed the descriptor from the registry
.... that would probably make the system unhappy.

Hi Mi,

Another practice is not to supply the open perspective menu nor show the
perspective toolbar but create your own.

Hello

See here how to replace the perspective switcher in your application.
http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2009/03/31/replacing-the-pers pective-switcher-in-rcp-apps/.
In the fill() method of the PerspectiveSwitcherMenu class you can make available the perspective depending on your needs.

Hope this helps you.
