How to remove standard icons from Properties View? [message #555794]

Hello,

I have the following problem - I am looking for the solution how to remove the standard Properties View icons (and context menu item): "Show Advanced Properties" and "Restore Defaults Value". Now I am doing that in such way, overridding PropertySheetPage class and makeContributions method:

@Override
public void makeContributions(IMenuManager menuManager,
IToolBarManager toolBarManager, IStatusLineManager statusLineManager) {
super.makeContributions(menuManager, toolBarManager, statusLineManager);
for (IContributionItem item : menuManager.getItems()) {
if (item instanceof ActionContributionItem) {
if ("filter".equals(((ActionContributionItem) item).getAction().getId())
|| "defaults".equals(((ActionContributionItem) item).getAction().getId())) {
menuManager.remove(item);
}
}
}
for (IContributionItem item : toolBarManager.getItems()) {
if (item instanceof ActionContributionItem) {
if ("filter".equals(((ActionContributionItem) item).getAction().getId())
|| "defaults".equals(((ActionContributionItem) item).getAction().getId())) {
toolBarManager.remove(item);
}
}
}
}

But I couldn't remove the "Restore Default Value" context item i such way, due to too many package private eclipse classes.

On the other hand, while blocking main window menu items, I used activities in plugin.xml:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.activities">
<activity
id="activity.removeUnusedIcons"
name="RemoveUnusedIcons">
</activity>
<activityPatternBinding
activityId="activity.removeUnusedIcons"
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.editors/org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.*nnotation ">
</activityPatternBinding>
<activityPatternBinding
activityId="activity.removeUnusedIcons"
pattern=" org.eclipse.ui.editors/org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.gotoLastEdit Position ">
</activityPatternBinding>
<activityPatternBinding
activityId="activity.removeUnusedIcons"
pattern="org.eclipse.search.*">
</activityPatternBinding>
</extension>

Here's my question: can I use activities to hide properties view icons/context?

Thanks for any hints! Smile
