Hi Everyone,
I would like to add an action (Properties) to my editor that would
launch a PropertyDialog whenever the user clicks on the action via the
context menu in my editor. How should I approach this?
I understand that I need to add the action to the action registry by
overriding createActions in my GraphicalEditor. Which action should I
add? I encountered the PropertyDialogAction action, however,
PopertyDialogAction requires a shell. Which shell? Is there more than
one shell? should I call getControl().getShell()? or should I call
PlatformUI....getShell()?
Regards,
Angel

I am launching a propertydialog by creating a PropertyDialogAction
during configureGraphicalViewer() and adding it to the ActionRegistry in
the mean time. It seems that I should be able to register the action
during createActions() therefore, I believe that a better method would
be for me to create my own IAction (or extend from an existing one) that
is not dependent on obtaining a graphical viewer and somehow display the
property dialog during the run() method or have my action be an
adapter for PropertyDialogAction. If there's a simpler way to display
the property dialog on an editpart (via the context menu) any help would
be greatly appreciated. To throw a curve ball into this, only some
editparts should enable the property action. How do I go about this?
Thansk in advance,
Angel

What i did is i implemented SelectionAction and then added my action in the
createActions() method of my EditorPart using the following code:
action = new MySelectionAction((IWorkbenchPart)this);
registry.registerAction(action);
getSelectionActions().add(action.getId());
Then just override the calculateEnabled method of the SelectionAction to
target only those editparts that this action would be enabled and the run
method to open your PropertyDialogAction...
Hope this helps....
