[CommonNavigator] adding text to the navigator view [message #313529]

Hi all,

I have created my own navigator based on the CNF. Now i want to add the same
mechanism that the syncronize view has when it is empty.

I want to add a small text and add an "hyperlink" to an action if no
elements are on the navigator. It is exactly the same mechanism that the
Syncronize view has when it has nothing to update/commit and show a small
text with the "syncronize" word underlined and blue that you click and
performs the syncronize action.

Anyone has any ideas on how can this be achieved?

Thanks
Tiago

Tiago,

The Synchronize view uses pieces of the CNF but does not declare a
navigator view in the plugin.xml. Instead, it uses CommonViewer
directly. We did this to get more flexibility to do things like showing
the text with hyperlinks when the view is empty.
