Hi,

I am working on RCP using Eclipse 3.2(WTP). I would like to know setting the style (foreground color, font) for the multipage editor tab text i.e the name/text of the multipage editor tab.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Prasanna

I couldn't see any API for that. Probably you have to raise a bug to get
access to the CTabItem of the tab.

Are you talking about the MPEP class?

I don't think you can control the individual tabs.

Note that you should be able to change the font (I know you can
italicize/bold it anyway), but it seems that colours won't do.

Hi,
Yeah I could change the font style of the multipage editor tab using the following code:

Object oTabFolder  = getContainer();
if((oTabFolder != null) && (oTabFolder instanceof CTabFolder)){
	CTabFolder tabFolder = (CTabFolder)oTabFolder;
	CTabItem tabItem = tabFolder.getItem(index);
	if(tabItem != null){
		tabItem.setFont(tabFont);
	}
}

Thanks,
Prasanna
