Hello,
I'm quite new to RCP Developement, and I'm currently doing Bug Fixing and CR on a RCP Project.
I searched the forum and the internet but couldn't find any similar problem.

The Problem:
I have a Tree view with copy paste capabilities. selecting a TreeItem and pressing Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V copies and pastes the item. This functionality works when my tree window is docked but when i detatch it, it fails.

public class TreeCopyHandler extends AbstractHandler {

public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {

ISelection selection = HandlerUtil.getCurrentSelection(event);
}
}

The problem is that HandlerUtil.getCurrentSelection(event) returns null, when the window is detached. Doing the following solves my problem, but I was wondering if this is a bug or if I'm missing something.

public class TreeCopyHandler extends AbstractHandler {

public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {

ISelection selection = HandlerUtil.getCurrentSelection(event);
IWorkbenchPart part = HandlerUtil.getActivePart(event);
if(selection == null && (part instanceof ICustomTreeView)){
ICustomTreeView treeView = (ICustomTreeView)part;
selection = treeView.getViewer().getSelection();
}

Thanks in advance.

Lori

What version of eclipse is your RCP app based on?

Eclipse 3.3? 3.6.2 is out, and we're working on 3.7/4.1.

The source provider (that fills out the details retrieved by
HandlerUtil) was fixed in 3.4 or 3.5 to handle detached windows better.

Unfortunatelly I can't use a newer version of Eclipse, it's my clients request to work with Eclipse 3.3.

Should I file a bug in Bugzilla? Maybe it will be usefull for other users to know abaout this limitation in 3.3.

I guess I will use my workaround to get the selection, that if you don't have any other sugestions or a better solution.

Thanks,

Lori

Don't know how I missed that.
Just one more question and I'm done. Is it posible to deactivate the detach option for some view, or maybe all view in an RCP app?

Yes. See the constant ENABLE_DETACHED_VIEWS in
IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.
