Hi,

how to disable any editor given it's IEditorPart so that it's read only?

Yau.

The readonly behaviour is determined by whether the IEditorInput is
returning null or not for the getPersistable() method.

So override the method and return null.

Hi,

thanks for your reply, but how about it's a third party editor, i.e. without
any control of the editor?

For 3rd party editors, you would have to see if they allow you to set
them to read-only.

Aside from somehow making the incoming IEditorInput readonly (not sure
how, and it's probably not valid for all kinds of IEditorInput) there's
no framework way to say this is read-only.

Hi,

thanks for your reply, so "Eclipse's Activities" won't help?
