Open View with an Action [message #452786]

Hi,
I'd like to open a view with an Action and the method :
IWorkbenchPage.showView(String viewId, String secondaryId, int mode)
but to use this method the view has to be in the View Registry using the
extension point org.eclipse.ui.views, so it means that's the view will
appear in the Show View Dialog and I don't want that. Is there a way to
prevent a view appearing in the Show view Dialog? Or a workaround?
Thanks
Mickael

I guess one thing you can do is don't use show view dialog to display
views instead create your menu item actions for the views you like to
display

in short don't use e.g
IContributionItem viewList =
ContributionItemFactory.VIEWS_SHORTLIST.create(window);

Thanks,

But if I do that I don't have my show view dialog anymore, and other view
have to be opened with this view... So you can? Have my show view dialog
without View A , and open the view A with an action?

Thanks again for your answer

Well i think every view that you create will be registered in the view
registry which gets reflected in the Window --> ShowView menu. I doubt
whether you could ever do that.

Don't fight the architecture. Things just get ugly.

Why can't you instantiate your view programmatically, and pass it to the
page or something?
