Is it possible to have elements from the CSS engine injected? (Like the main toolbar color)

I haven't worked with the rendering engine very much. I have a feeling that it could be possible if the color was stored as some kind of system property. But like I said I still need to work with it much more.

Just thought I would check. Thanks,

JD

No but you can get the CSSEngine and query that for informations.

You can inject only what is in the IEclipseContext hierarchy or OSGi Services (and preferences). If you want anything to be available to you for injection, put it in an IEC along with a key, accessible from your context.

And one special type of OSGi service is an IContextFunction computes some value given the originating context. So you could obtain the corresponding model element and its widget and then query for its corresponding CSS element.

Yep I think ICF are really powerful. I've done some fancy things with them https://github.com/scela/us.icitapled.smc.e4

IContextFunction would be even more powerful if it would pass on the
requestor (the target of the injection if one available) like the object
supplier does.
