Hi,
I wondered how I can format text in an XML editor programmatically?
I've not seen any simple way to call the same action that is done from CTRL+SHIFT+F - surely this is simple!? I have the IEditorPart that I have created and opened, and the original text I have put in it. The editor is org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.internal.tabletree.XMLMultiPageEditorPart.
I've tried:
TextEdit edit = codeFormatter.format( CodeFormatter.K_UNKNOWN,mystring, 0, mystring.length(), 0,null);
but edit always comes back as null.
Any help would be great.
Ta,
Mark.

thanks, I've determined what should work but unfortunately it's still failing for my particular editor I've opened (XML):
I open the editor and use a part listener to fire when the editor opens:
IEditorPart editor = page.openEditor(input, "org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.internal.tabletree.XMLMultiPageEditorPart");
public void partActivated(IWorkbenchPartReference ref) {
IWorkbenchPart editor = ref.getPart(false);
final ITextOperationTarget fOperationTarget = (ITextOperationTarget) editor.getAdapter(ITextOperationTarget.class);
if (fOperationTarget != null) {
WorkbenchJob refreshJob = new WorkbenchJob(
"Format transformed XML") {
public IStatus runInUIThread(IProgressMonitor monitor) {
fOperationTarget.doOperation(ISourceViewer.FORMAT);
return Status.OK_STATUS;
}
};
refreshJob.schedule(6000);
This doesn't work, however, and I get no error. I don't have the source for the XML editor so can't step through. I might try and get it and do this though unless anyone can see anything glaringly obvious.
Ta,
Mark.
