tabs I need until runtime. Is there a way to provide tabs without using
the extension points?
thanks!

Hi,
No, TabbedProperties for special design target, that's design first and
use later, no design and no use, do designed and no changed.
So its api is same like cannot close view, fixed again changing.

Hi Adam,
Unfortunately the answer is no, no dynamic support.
As a workaround, what others have done is to have tabs for the domain
objects and then one section in the tab that changes dynamically and is
refreshed by calling composite.layout().
For example, your data model has a box.
When the box is selected on the diagram, the box tab and box section are
displayed. In the box section, you change the widgets in the composite based
on the real state of the box in your data model and call layout().
Let me know if this helps. If you can provide any more information on
"everything is data driven" it probably would help.
Cheers...
Anthony

instead of tabs. BTW - thanks so much for the article! Lately, it
seems like there is a shortage of updated Eclipse info. I can't even
find any new books in the pipeline.

Adam,
Coincidentally I was just playing this morning (it's Think Friday) to
learn how tabbed properties worked and I too found Anthony's example to
be extremely useful. I quickly reached the same conclusion as expressed
here: you can't generate the stuff dynamically. And looking at the
implementation, it can't easily be changed to support that. I was
chatting with Anthony just now, after reading this posting and he
pointed out that there is a bugzilla open for this:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=131855
But it's just not very likely that the resource to do this will be
available. :-(

have a fall-back. I'm looking at implementing a 3 level hierarchy
instead of using tabs.
