How to align views [message #448723] Sun, 30 April 2006 13:17 Go to next message

Hi,

I have build an application with one perspective with three folders and fife
views in it.
Here is the code:

String editorArea = layout.getEditorArea();
layout.setEditorAreaVisible(false);
IFolderLayout selectionLeftFolder = layout.createFolder("selectionLeft",
IPageLayout.LEFT, 0.25f, editorArea);
IFolderLayout editorFolder = layout.createFolder("editors",IPageLayout.LEFT,
0.7f, editorArea);
IFolderLayout selectionRightFolder = layout.createFolder("selectionRight",
IPageLayout.LEFT, 0.25f, editorArea);
selectionLeftFolder.addPlaceholder(View1.ID + ":*");
selectionLeftFolder.addPlaceholder(View2.ID + ":*");
editorFolder.addPlaceholder(EditorView.ID + ":*");
selectionRightFolder.addPlaceholder(View3.ID + ":*");
selectionRightFolder.addPlaceholder(View4.ID + ":*");
selectionLeftFolder.addView(View1.ID);
selectionLeftFolder.addView(View2.ID);
selectionRightFolder.addView(View3.ID);
selectionRightFolder.addView(View4.ID);

When I start the application the views are dispayed tabbed.
I can then arrange it by dragging.
But the next time I start the application the views are again shown tabbed.

Here my questions:
1) How can I set the initial alignment so that the views are shown among
each other.
2) How can I store the alignment of the views if the user has rearranged
it and restore it on the next start of the application?

Regards
Uwe

What? They're shown in the "alignment" specified by your layout. You
want a different alignment, change the layout. You can add views
directly to the page layout, relative to each other. You don't have to
add them to folders.

IIRC, you can use IWorkbenchConfigurer#setSaveAndRestore(*). Then the
workbench will reload your last perspective state.
