Hi,

i wrote a preferencepage and overwrote the performOK()-Method. But the
container doesn't seem to call this method, when the OK-Button is pressed to
leave preferences panel.
So how do I detect, that an user pressed the OK-Button?

Thanks in Advance

Did you write the method performOK with a capitalized K?

Bye,

Yes. I'm just wondering that this method is never called. My idea for this
problem is the following:

This method returns a boolean value. Because this is used by the Preference
container, it could be possible, that a preference pages performOK() method
of a preference page that is called earlier than mine, returns false. From
this moment, eclipse semms not to call all the other methods and just closes
the preference window.

If this is the reason, than they should change the specification. Because
the spec clearly says, the the perform method is called, when the user
presses ok.

The solution is much simpler than you thought: just take a lowercase "k" in
"performOk()". The framework calls this method and it doesn't make anything
in the default implementation. You didn't override the method because of
your typo and so your method doesn't get called.
By the way: I'm working on a eclipse plugin in my diploma thesis, which
checks implementation restrictions. One checker will test if there are
possible typos like in your case and give warnings for these issues. If
you're interested in it, just write me a short mail and I'll inform you when
the checker is finished.

HTH,

Thorsten

Thanks for the solution. I'll chekck it right now. I'm just wondering about
it, because the framework says, it is named with a capital "k". Well. I'll
try it out right now and post here short, if it works.
