Link Views and Editors [message #463237]

I want to pass some information on to a view every time the mouse moves over an editor. I think this means I add a mouse listener to the editor composite and inside this listener, make a call to the view.

- But how do I get a reference to the view I want information sent to?
- Do I add the listener as part of the editor's creation or as part of the view's creation?

You can get a reference to the view using :
IWorkbenchPage page =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWindow().getActivePage();
IViewPart viewPart = page.findView(YOUR_VIEW_ID);

You should add a listener to the editor's createPartControl (and, of
course, remove it in the dispose method).
