Creating my own IDocument and IDocumentProvider will help in editor state [message #211271]

Hi all,

I have similar question on the newsgroup but haven't yet resolved my
problem.I am trying to make the editor readonly by using setEditable()
method and want to enter text into the editor through sockets.
setEditable() doesn't work in my case for some reason that I have not been
able to figure out,as it is being invoked from a ui thread.I used
AsyncExec for it but no results. I have read in previous posts that if I
create my own IDocumentProvider and IDocument I will be able to get the
job done.
My only question is that how these two interfaces will help me?. The
reason I am asking this is because setEditable() is called by the
SourceViewer() and IDocument and iDocumentprovider is used for creating a
document for the editor. Which methods do I have to call on iDocument or
IDocumentProvider that will help me in changing the state of the
ediotr.How can I change the editor state by calling methods of these
interfaces.
Secondly I am using IDocument.replace method to enter text into the
editor.Is there any method that I can use so that I can enter whatever is
being comming in the editor through sockets.

I would really apprecaite any pointer as I am running out of time for
submitting this project at school.

Thanks

Syed
