Markus,
sorry to say so, but I don't know a way to make this work.
The only thing that comes to my mind is to 'print' the views'
content as a PDF document (or similar) and show it in a Brwoser widget.
Cheers,
Rüdiger

Hi Markus,
I don't think it would make any sense to support printing this stuff in
a generic way. It may make sense for text editors but printing a forms
editor or a view with widgets makes just no sense. But with a little
workaround you could achieve something useful: Having an action which
opens a popup window (for example trough the workbench browser support)
and prefixing the content of the html page with something like the
following you could support direct printing for the user. If you now use
the adapter pattern to provide a textual content adapter for each part,
you can retrieve the adapter of the current active part to put this
content into your html page for the browser. This way you can print the
active parts content while the part itself can provide the textual
format of the output.
Here is the snippet for the html page to open the print dialog:
<html><body onload="window.print();"><!-- your text content goes here
--></body</html>
Just an idea I had when I read your post. Maybe it works ;)
