MultiPageEditorPart on Eclipse 4 [message #1070905]

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to implement a MultiPageEditorPart in an Eclipse application 4.

for example, adding them to a PartStack

Yes, it should be possible to implement a multi page editor in E4. However, adding them to a part stack wouldn't be the solution because they will all be treated as a separate editor at that point. (Think of the active part, if you have them as parts in a part stack, then the active part changes everytime you move to a new "page" -> Not what you want)

The implementation should not be any different from a standard "editor" in E4, where the part has a CTabFolder (or similar).

I don't think you'll have any special requirements for managing the active selection, but I could be wrong (haven't tried a multi-page part in E4 yet).

HTH,

JD

thanks, for your replay,

I also think that the CTabFolder is the solution, because MultiPageEditorPart does not really offer a add value

Right now there is no way to properly define parts containing other parts in
the UI Model. We plan on introducing a new Model element MCompositePart in Luna
and, over time (i.e. post-Luna), moving our implementations of the MPEP and the PageBook views over to using this new mechanism.

Stay tuned !
