Can you rephrase this? What exactly do you want?
|
Sorry.
I will try.
I am writing an application that essentially is an editor:
It opens an XML file, shows it in a few different views and/or editors and saves it back.
The XML file contains, among other things, pointers to other text files.
The XML editor can open one or more of those files for editing.
My problems:
- I would like to have the central editorArea disappear when all files have been closed; I have found that setting layout.setEditorAreaVisible(false); will hide the editorArea at startup. It will appear as soon as I open an editor. I have found no way to make it disappear again when I close the editor. How can I do that?
- In case (often!) i do not need to actually modify the XML file itself, but I need to edit only the text-files, I would like to close the XML editor and to leave only one of the views active (similar to an Outline View); is this possible?
- If I set configurer.setSaveAndRestore(true); the system will try to reopen all files that were open last time; In case I closed the XML editor (see above) I would like to prevent this and I would like to force the user to manually reopen the XML file or, alternatively, reopen it in the non-editing mode (just the outline shown). Again: I do not know how to achieve this.
I hope this is a bit clearer.
Thanks for Your understanding
Mauro
