Hi,

does anybody here know who can i active/display the perspective bar?

My RCP application has two perspectives and i want active the icons in the right top corner like in ecplise 3.x.

I use eclipse 4.2.2. My implemented perspective switcher action works fine but normally i want to switch the perspective like in eclipse 3.x.

The current implementation of the Perspective Switcher is, unfortunately, tied to the Eclipse IDE and isn't available in pure e4 apps. We do intend to address this as part of an overall move to make the IDE code more self-contained so that our current need to access the WorkbenchPage can be removed.

Hi Eric,

Is there an estimated date for this to be implemented by any chance? I'm just about to add multiple perspectives and wanted to check before doing anything custom.

Regards,

Ozgur.

This is (unfortunately) not even on our radar right now, note that you can likely get away with cloning the compatibility implementation and just cut out the 3.x specific code to get what you need. This would mean for example not calling the workbenchpage's 'setPerspective' method but just setting the MPerspectiveStack's selectedElement...

Thanks Eric, that does work. It might already be obvious how to achieve this for many but I've also pasted the below snippet to show how to get hold of the perspective stack and its perspectives.

@Inject
MApplication application;

void dummyForce1stPerspectiveActivation() {
	MWindow l = application.getChildren().get(0);
	MPerspectiveStack stack = (MPerspectiveStack)l.getChildren().get(0);
        MPerspective perspective = stack.getChildren().get(0);
        stack.setSelectedElement(perspective);
}
