Open a new shape editor instance [message #241683]

Hi,

I'am currently using the shapes example and try to extend it. My goal is
to open a new editor tab by double-click on a shape.

I have included into the ShapeEditPart the following code:

public void performRequest(Request req) {
if (req.getType().equals(RequestConstants.REQ_OPEN)) {
System.out.println("double-click in a shape");
ShapesEditor se = new ShapesEditor();
}
}

The double-click is already catched.

But ... how can I open a new ShapesEditor tab in the eclipse workbench?
The input should be another *.shapes file.

Sebastian

Hi,

Kindly go through the below link, then you will get an idea

http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseEditors/article.html

of creating new editor using plugin.xml

(or)

Go through the book Eclipse Plugin of Eric Clayberg, Dan Rubel, Chapter-20

In that chapter it has provided of opening editor using IEditorInput which is the best way.

Thanks & Regards,
