Do something after the view was opened. [message #327618]

Hello! I want to execute a little job after a specific view was opened.
ViewPart#init doesn't work as the view must be really open and the
WorkbenchPart#createPartControl must already have been called.
So I am looking for something like an open method of a view.

Any suggestions?

Maybe look at the IPartListener and IPartListener2 interfaces. You can
add your own implementation of the interface as a listener on a
workbench page and use it to be notified when your view is
opened/closed/activated/deactivated etc.

HTH,

Nice tip, but in my case it seems, that it doesn't solve the problem.
I give you a bit more explanations on my problem.
I want to execute an IRunnableWithProgress (executed by my ViewPart)
directly after my rcp application has started (and any user interface is
visible).
The problem with IPartListener is, that those methods are called, when the
startup splash screen is visible (and not the user interface of the
application).
Any ideas? Listen to another interface?

With any luck, we'll have successfully fixed
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168524 in 3.4, so
partVisible(*) should occur when the view is made visible, even on startup.

Other than that, why not do it in your createPartControl(*) then if
init(*) is too early
