"Eclipse Style" PerspectiveBar [message #306174]

Hi all

I would like to add the "eclpse style" perspective bar to my rcp
application. I have successfully added the perspectivebar but it just
shows the normal (non-curved) style.

How is the curved style done.

and yes, this is already set:

PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setValue(IWorkbenchPreferenc eConstants.SHOW_TRADITIONAL_STYLE_TABS,
false);

Thanks,
Michael

You should clear your run-time workspace of that very RCP. This setting
is only evaluated the first time and the result is persisted into the
workspace data.

Hi Daniel

Ah, ok. How do I delete the run-time workspace?

Cheers,

In the following I assume that the problem occurs in the RCP
app which has been started by your Eclipse launch configuration,
not your exported/deployed version, is that right?

1) Open Run configuration, tab "Main", ensure that "Clear workspace data
before launching" in the Workspace Data section is selected. Run again.

2) If (1) didn't help, you should use your usual file explorer and go
into the directory described by the launch config's entry "Location" in
the very same Workspace Data section and remove all of its contents
manually. Restart again.

Greetings from Bremen,

Daniel

Hi Daniel

Clearing the workspace works ok, but has no effect on the
perspectivebar. It is still not shown in the "curved" mode as in
eclipse. Is there anything else I have to do?

Cheers from Zürich :)

The problem might be your chosen point in workbench lifecycle, where
you have written your

PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setValue(IWorkbenchPreferenc eConstants.SHOW_TRADITIONAL_STYLE_TABS,
false);

To isolate this potential error source you should comment the above
expression in your code and should - at least for this test - add the line

org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_TRADITIONAL_STYLE_TABS=false

in your plugin-customization file. Therefore you have to ensure that
there exists the property:

<property
name="preferenceCustomization"
value="your_plugin_customization.ini"/>

in your current org.eclipse.core.runtime.products ext. pt. If not
existing you also have to create the file your_plugin_customization.ini
in the root of that branding plug-in.
Then repeat the clearage of your runtime workspace and restart: Do
you see the new perspective bar borders now?

Hope that helps,

Daniel

Hi Daniel

I have the statement in the ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor in the
preWindowOpen mehtod, like follows:

public void preWindowOpen()
{

PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setValue(IWorkbenchPreferenc eConstants.SHOW_TRADITIONAL_STYLE_TABS,
false);

IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer configurer = getWindowConfigurer();
configurer.setInitialSize(new Point(1024, 768));
configurer.setShowCoolBar(false);
configurer.setShowStatusLine(true);
configurer.setShowFastViewBars(true);
configurer.setShowPerspectiveBar(true);
configurer.setShowProgressIndicator(true);
configurer.setTitle("LexisNexis Datafeed");

}

Will try your tip with the custom file and will post again :)

Thanks,
michael

Hi Daniel

I tried the config file but to no avail. I tried this:

org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_TRADITIONAL_STYLE_TABS=false
org.eclipse.ui/DOCK_PERSPECTIVE_BAR=topRight
org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP=true

The VIEWS are correctly shown with the curved tabs, but the perspective
bar still does not...strange...

Cheers,
Michael
