Detached window or view with menu bar in RCP app? [message #436526] Sun, 11 September 2005 17:05 Go to next message

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out a way to create a new window in my RCP app that
contains a menu bar. I first tried using JFace's ApplicationWindow, but
the key bindings in the menu conflicted with those of the main
workbenchwindow. I hesitate to use a detatched ViewPart, because of the
blank titlebar decoration that always accompanies detatched views - but
even besides that, is there a way to add a real menu to a ViewPart
anyway? I haven't been able to find a way..

The third option I thought of, which seems the most tedious but the most
likely to work, is to create an actual new workbench window, with a new
perspective that has the required viewpart as a fixed/standalone view.

Anyone have any advice on the best way to do this, or maybe even a way I
haven't thought of?

Thanks,
Josh

P.S. - I know it's not a typical requirement, but unfortunately the
requirement itself is non-negotiable.

Creating a new perspective and window is probably the right way of achieving this particular goal, unless you want to pop up the information in some form of dialog?
