Communication between viewers in a perspective [message #436418]

Hi,

I created two viewers in a perspective. First one is a tree viewer and
second one is a table viewer. After user clicking on tree viewer, I want
to update the content by calling setInput() method in the table viewer.
Since table viewer is created by calling layout.addView(), I couldn't get
the table viewer object to call setInput().

What are the solutions to this problem?

Regards,
Mike

Get the view object and cast it down to the implementation class and add
on method on the view to set the input.

So you need your table view? You can use IWorkbenchPage#findView("table
view id") to get your IViewPart, and then cast it to MyTableView.
