Save button method in code [message #1222028]

Hello everyone,
I want to use(and can't find last 2 days) the same method that is called when you press the save(not save all) button, but in my drillDownFeature.
The reason is I have to save the unsaved elements in my current diagram, when I open a new digram by double-clicking a element in the current diagram .

public class DrillDownFeature extends AbstractDrillDownFeature {
[...]
@Override
public void execute(ICustomContext context) {
"pressSaveButton()";
[...]
}
[...]
}

Can anyone tell me where that method "pressSaveButton()" is and how to use it ?

Martin,

save can be triggered like this:
getDiagramBehavior().getDiagramContainer().doSave(monitor);

But from within a feature you will need to execute this asynchronously in
the UI thread otherwise you will run into a deadlock...

Michael,

thank you very much for your answer. Do you know an other (easier) way to solve my problem?
My project has synchronization problems caused by unsaved elements after opening a new diagram, so i could just save in the DrillDownFeature. The other possibility is to save every element after it is created.

Martin,

not sure, it depends on your scenario. Another option could be to use the
same editing domain in both editors, but that would mean you also get a
unified undo/redo stack for both editors. Not sure if that fits...

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
IWorkbenchPage page = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
IEditorPart editor = page.getActiveEditor();
page.saveEditor(editor, false); //true = ask user: want to save?
}});

Ok, this works for me. Thanks for the async advice!
