Hi,

how can I control the state of menu actions?
I hava a action registered in plugin.xml(under action.sets).
The action implements the

public void selectionChanged(IAction pAction, ISelection pSelection)

method from IActionDelegate!

The selectionChanged will only be called if you change e.g from editor to
view, etc.
I want to refresh the state whenever the selection in a tableviewer of a
view changes.
How can I do this?
Thanks.

Hi Schmitti,
you have to register the tableviewer as a selection provider in your view
site. This can be done in your createPartControl method with the following
instruction: getSite().setSelectionProvider(<your tableviewer>). For more
information read the following article:
