Hi,

There is a way to control the perspective bar programmatically?

I saw some options from the config.ini, but just that.

Thanks.

As I could see, the Perspective bar control is very limited.

I decided then, to not use the Perspective bar and use the CoolBar which
gives me more code control.

If somebody has any ideas.

Actually, we are doing using eclipse for our main application platform with
many apps loaded on the workbench as plugins. For the first version, the
idea would be to have one perspective per application.

The perspective bar is solely managed through internals, like the
PerspectiveBarManager. It is possible to create your own toolbar in the
main coolbar in an RCP app that represents the open perspectives. You
could then manage them as you want if the PerspectiveBarManager doesn't
do what you want.
