rcp standalone view--how to show hidden titles at runtime [message #837167]

Using RCP is it possible to show titles of a standalone view at runtime?

We have 4 stabdalone views in a page, arranged as 4 quadrants, with hidden titlebar.
On a button click, we want to show the hidden titles of all those views, so that we can move & close them as required.

Do we have any api to enable those titles? If not,how possibly can we get the same effect? Any pointers will be helpful--Thanks

Hi Neetika,

Maybe a hack: create a new perspective with the views added as normal views
then use the button to switch to that perspective. Add a part listener so you
can catch the closing of the view and call hideview on the "twin"
perspective.

Regards,

Wim

Thanks Wim for replying,

One major Problem I see with this approach will be: Once the views are visible(in new perspective),user can move them and rearrange them.So in that case, toggling to previous perspective(where titles are not visible), the arrangement of views will be different.
Which definetly will not be acceptable.

This is not possible in 3.x, with 4.x you can make it work by modifying
the workbench model directly if you want the titles get displayed/hidden.

Ohhhh, we are using 3.7.
This means we do not even have a workaround for same!!!!

Alos Tom, do you have any idea, if in 3.x we have options to hide 1-pixel view background!!!For above mentioned multiple views in a single page, we want to hide the borders, so that it looks like a single view page....

Any idea/hints on the same?

You could look at what the presentation API provides maybe implementing
your own presentation can solve your problems.
