Adding a Property View to an RCP project [message #444878] Wed, 22 February 2006 16:53 Go to next message

Hello,

I'm building an RCP 3.1.2 project that has an editor that contains a table.

When I open the editor I need to open a Property View to set values for specific cells in the table and when I close the editor I must close de Property View.

I found an example "Take control of your properties" but it is so old that it doesn't even run.

I read the Apis for org.eclpse.ui.properties and org.eclipse.jface.preference and couldn't figure out how to do my job.

I would appreciate very much if some one helps me out.

Thanks a lot

Antonio,

you need to add the plugin org.eclipse.ui.views

for the PropertiesViews ...

Then in your page-layout invoke

folderLayout.addView("org.eclipse.ui.views.PropertySheet")

where folderLayout is some instanceof IFolderLayout

I followed your hint and got the following error:
org.eclipse.ui.PartInitException: Could not create view: org.eclipse.ui.views.PropertySheet

This sounds logical to me because there is no such "PropertySheet" under org.eclipse.ui.views.

My project already has some views that are working correctly.

My real problem is HOW TO CREATE A PROPERTY VIEW AND HOW TO LINK IT TO AN OBJECT CONTAINED IN ANOTHER VIEW OR EDITOR?

Thanks

I used the same tutorial for learning how to use the property view, and
found it quite sufficient. I haven't tried the code sample though, just
followed the step-by-step instructions.

My Dear M

Your piece of advise was great! First I created a new RCP project, built the example on it and made it work. Then, following it I solved my problem. Sometimes I forget that one of the good ways to learn is the Monkeys principle: Imitate and Copy!

Thanks a lot
