Hello All,
On similar lines to Java's Package explorer, i have created a view and a treeviewer inside it.

In my view, On making a selection in theTreeviewer, an Editor opens. Because of this, the focus is now on Editor instead of the View.

Hence when a new selection is being made in the Treeviewer, the View first comes to focus and then the selection is made. And we notice a small flicker kind of behavior in the view.

Is it possible to still retain the focus on the view after opening the Editor.

Regards,
Deepak P

Hello All,
For the above specified use case , i did find an option while opening the editor, a boolean attribute "activate" can be false. And the editor is not highlighted

        IDE.openEditor(page, input, activate)

regards,
Deepak P
