Eclipse actionSet actions enable/disable [message #513066]

I have successfully added actions to the global toolbar via extension point "actionSet". I have added selection listener to the action. Enabling/Disabling of an action depends on what resource is selected and is handled in the selectionChanged method.

The enablement of these actions work fine from Package Explorer but it doesn't work when something in view (IViewPart) is selected. It does not fire action's selectionChanged event. I can't figure it out

How to get reference of actions in an actionSet (defined in plugin.xml) programmatically?

How can we associate actionSet with the View so it does fire action's selection changed event on view selection change?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks!

You can't.

How did you register your view's selection provider?

This is how I add selection listener to the view.

view.addSelectionChangedListener(new ISelectionChangedListener() {

@Override
public void selectionChanged(SelectionChangedEvent arg0) {
}
});

It does get fired when selection changes in the view but I don't have action's reference here so can't do anything.

My problem is that action's selection listener is not getting fired automatically on view's selection change. It works in package explorer though.

Thanks!

In your view, have you set the selection provider?
getSite().setSelectionProvider(yourViewerHere)

Prakash,

Thank you so much. That was the catch. I was not setting selection provider. It all working fine now.

Many Thanks!
