Tile Editor horizontal/vertical programmatically [message #871014] Thu, 10 May 2012 14:29 Go to next message

Hi,

Is there any way around to tile editor horizontal/vertical programmatically?

When we open new editor, it opens new tab for it. We can drag to set it vertically/horizontally. I want to arrage my editors horizontally/vertically programmatically.

Thanks,

-Omer Gillani

In 3.x there's no programmatic access to splitting the editor area.

In 4.2 you could probably do it by manipulating the model, but you'd have to provide all of the correct layout/attributes.

Thanks Paul.

We have 3.x and we are shifting it to 4.2. But model is not available to us so far. There are some important workflows that requires to layout editor area programmatically. Can you please guide me to do it anyway even by extending RCP API?

Hi Omar,

i did very much the same thing once in 3.2. Basicly i needed to place a subeditor below my main editor.

I am forcing a DnD-Event to do this (see code below). I copied some sources to do quick patch(see derivedSources.7z). This isn't quite a clean API-way to deal with, but it worked for over 4 years now.

Hope this will help you

IEditorReference[] editorRefs = GuiHelper.getActivePage().getEditorReferences();
int idx = 0;
// get the editor instance by given id (pEditorId)
for (int i = 0; i < editorRefs.length; i++)
{
   IEditorReference editRef = editorRefs[i];
   if (editRef.getId().equals(pEditorId) && editRef.getEditor(false).equals(result))
   {
      idx = i;
      break;
   }
}
// create drag-and drop-source of editor
EditorDragSource editorDragSource = new EditorDragSource(idx, false);
EditorAreaDropTarget dropLocation = new EditorAreaDropTarget(editorDragSource, SWT.BOTTOM);
// force dnd of editor
editorDragSource.drag(dropLocation);
