Get corresponding view in AbstractHandler.execute() [message #552438] Thu, 12 August 2010 09:15 Go to next message

Hi,

I defined a class derived from AbstractHandler. This handler is added in a views toolbar. If I activate the toolbar entry, the execute method of the handler is invoked.
How do I get the view instance or id for which the handler is invoked? There can be multiple views in which the handler can be executed. I tried the HandlerUtil.getActivePart(), but the problem here is, that the view is getting active after handlers execute method is invoked. So if e. g. an editor has the focus and the user clicks directly the toolbar icon, the active part is not the view in which the handler icon was clicked, but the editor.
Has someone an idea?

Regards,
Oliver

Your first instinct is correct. Clicking on the command in the view
toolbar and then HandlerUtil.getActivePart(*) should be that
corresponding view. The view activates before the handler#execute(*) is
called.

This is not in a detached window, is it? In any case, if it is not
working that way it is a bug. Please open a bug at

No it was no detached view.
I have opened a bug report.

Thanks.
