Tabbed properties [message #119909] Mon, 06 March 2006 04:54 Go to next message

Hi,
In the Eclipse 3.2M5 the new possibility to display properties was
introduced (coming from web tools platform project).

( http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Tabbed-Properties/ta bbed_properties_view.html)

I want to use them in VE based application, but before I start to study
this issue more deeply, I would like to know if there could be any
problem with using tabbed properties in VE.

I am interested in this:
1)It is possible to use it
2)How to use it in VE
3)Where could be the problem etc.

Tabbed properties won't work with extensions to the VE. The reason for
that is the VE's properties are completly dynamic. What is shown depends
on what is selected. The Tabbed properties required a predefined set of
tabs that can show up on an editor. This definition of tabs is done in
the plugin.xml and can't be changed dynamically. Because of this
contributors such as yourself can't add new tabs to an existing editor's
set of tabs.

However, you can use them in an application that you create FROM the VE.
We just ignore them since we don't have any special code for them. You
would have to do everything through the code editor.
