Is there any chance of getting these implemented in the 1.3 timeframe?
We would like to use these for providing help on configuring parts of our
application.

Cheers,

Paul,

the TrayDialog is already there. What's the HelpTray for? What would
you like to achieve?

Cheers,
Rüdiger

I have a dialog that extends TrayDialog

public class TestDialog extends TrayDialog {
protected TestDialog(Shell shell) {
super(shell);
}

@Override
protected void configureShell(Shell newShell) {
super.configureShell(newShell);
setHelpAvailable(true);
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getHelpSystem().setHelp(newShell,
"com.orchestral.bugs.configuration");
}

@Override
protected boolean isResizable() {
return true;
}
}

I have all the help configured correctly, as this runs OK in an eclipse
based environment.

It the RAP environment the help does not pop-out the side of the dialog.

I can attach the full source to the test if you like.

Hi Paul,

if you are running against 1.3M2 or CVS HEAD you need to provide you own
implementation of Help UI using org.eclipse.ui.helpSupport
< http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse .platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_ helpSupport.html>
extension point. Take a look at this FAQ entry [1] for more information
and example implementation.

HTH,
Ivan

Thanks Ivan.
I have followed the FAQ, but still to no avail. I have found that the
TrayDialog notifies a typed listener of SWT.Help (in the helpPressed
method), but the addHelpListener (on Control) does not register a typed
listener. If I look at the SWT source for control it does register a typed
listener for SWT.Help. The RAP implementation uses a HelpEvent helper class
which uses the untyped event mechanism. Either the TrayDialog or the Control
in RAP needs to be changed to fix this problem. Also, the UtypedEventAdapter
would need to have the SWT.Help case added to it.

Cheers,
Paul
