Open View from a Dialog possible [message #755827]

Hi,

I am not sure which forum to post this question but I try here since it is more general.

I have a Dialog and when I press a Button in my dialog I want to open a view in my workbench (similar to "console") and present a bunch of data (table).Then I want to select the data and update a comboViewer in my Dialog. Is it possible.

When I tried the following code in my Dialog:

try {
		BranchSearchView view = (BranchSearchView) PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow()
						.getActivePage().showView("net.sourceforge.eclipseccase.views.BranchSearchView");
		
		    view.setProject(resources[0].getProject());
		
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
}

When I execute the class I get a message saying something like "that workbench is not created yet".

Is it possible to test this or do I need a running eclipse instance ( with a actual workbench existing)?

If it works how can I take the data from the selected row and add it to my comboviewer? Is it possible at all?

br,

//mike

Calling from a non-UI thread?
