Programmatically minimize/restore PartStacks [message #936933]

Hi,

I would like to minimize or restore a PartStack programmatically. I have two PartStacks side by side and a command which opens a View within a PartStack. When certain Views are opened I want the other PartStack to be minimized.

Thanks

Frank

Hi Frank,

Add the minmax addon to the dependencies and then as an addon to the application model.

See the IPresentationEngine class for tags to add to the model elements.

To minimize the partstack use:

	@Execute
	public void execute(EModelService service, MApplication app) {
	 MPartStack stack =	(MPartStack) service.find("ID.OF.PARTSTACK.HERE", app);
	 stack.getTags().add(IPresentationEngine.MINIMIZED);}

Hope this helps,

Wim

Thank you Wim!

Is there a way to programmatically control intto which window-bar is the stack going to be docked?
I defined a Tool Control with ID my.stack.id(minimized) on the right side of the application, but the programmatic minimization goes left.. !

Thanks in advance,
-Piero

Solved: as I reported here too, the MinMax addon assumes that the ID of any existing trim control is composed of the stack id + the perspective id (see link for relevant library excerpts).

Now my stacks are minimized to the proper control.
