Question about FilteredItemsSelectionDialog [message #323638]

I'm writing a dialog that extends
org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.FilteredItemsSelectionDialog and I have a
requirement to pre-select items in the list. I see that I can call
setInitialSelections() inherited from
org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.SelectionDialog but it appears that is not used
by FilteredItemsSelectionDialog.
Is there any way to set the selection of the viewer in
FilteredItemsSelectionDialog?

TIA,
Eric

Off the top of my head, I would create a subclass and override
createDialogArea, and then just call setSelection() to whatever value
the initial selection is set to since the viewer is up at that point.

I would also file a bug on this; the FilteredItemsSelectionDialog should
respect this.

The TableViewer is private with no getter method, so a subclass has no
reference to it.

Oops, the setSelection() that I saw was in an inner class. Sorry.

Have a look at FilteredResourcesSelectionDialog.open(). It sets the
initial selection by setting the pattern (it gets the selection from the
window). I think this will do what you want. Sorry for the earlier red
herring.
