How to get secondary id of active view (multiple instances of same view)? [message #1708194]

I am new to Eclipse RCP framework.

I have created multiple instances of the same view by appending secondary id in the primary id of the view using following code:

folderLayout1.addPlaceholder(DiagramWindow.ID + ":*");

IWorkbenchPage activePage = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
activePage.showView(DiagramWindow.ID, Integer.toString(DiagramList.viewIndex++),
IWorkbenchPage.VIEW_ACTIVATE);

Now when I try to get the id of the active view, then I get only the primary id of the view. I did not find any way to get the secondary id of the view. Due to this I always get the reference of the last opened view in the folderLayout.

Please provide some solution. I am stuck in this problem.

Thanks in advance.

You can get the secondary from the view's site: see IViewSite#getSecondaryId().

Thanks Brian for your quick reply.

But my issue is different.
There are many instances of same view on the tab folder.
My intention is to get the reference of view which currently has the focus out of all the opened views. (IOut of all opened views of same type, only one will have focus).

Thanks in advance.
