Adding actions to properties view [message #703446]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the standard properties viewer in Eclipse, but was hoping to add a few buttons at the top (right above the key value grid). I tried to extend PropertySheetPage and in my getAdapter method, I added an if-statement to check for IPropertySheetPage.

However, I noticed that this if-statement is never hit. Consequently I'm having some trouble making progress. Is this the right approach? I'm not interested in building a new viewer from scratch, so if it's possible to leverage the existing viewer, that would be great.

Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hi Upal,

You can contribute a command to the toolbar by using the menus extension
point.

use the URI toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.views.PropertySheet

That will not be right above the columns. Will that work for you?

Wim Jongman

Hi Wim,

Yes, I think this will do! Let me run it by a few people and get back to you on that.

In the meantime, I was wondering if you could advise me on how I can remove some of the existing icons on the properties viewer. If we go down this route, I'd like to remove some of the existing icons and replace them with our own actions.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hi Upal,

Take a look at the perspectiveextension extension point. It contains some way
to remove icons and menu options. Use the menu spy CTRL+ALT+F2 to find the id
of the button to remove.

Wim
