How do I get control on Window->Open Perspective menu item [message #485388]

When the user goes to the Window->Open Perspective menu item and selects a
perspective related to my application, I would like to prompt the user for
input required by the perspective before it is displayed. Is there a way
for me to set it up so that my action receives control so that I can
display a dialog and then open the perspective myself? Or is there
another recommended way to achieve the behavior I want?

Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Did you try a perspective listener?

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().addPers pectiveListener(listener)

Best regards,

Wim
