Hooking a Table View with Graphical Editor [message #222743]

Hey everyone !

I am working on a view which will show information in a tabular form. The
information is getting displayed properly. I am able to create a Table in
the view having required columns and rows populated with the required data.

Now the problem is, I want to hook this view with the Graphical Editor in
focus i.e. the active editor, in the same way how Outline View works. So
the contents of the table should get modified according to the Active
Editor.

I am not able to get the same effect on the Table View I have. My Table
View is just a simple code creating a Table widget and 'n' TableItems.
There is no TableViewer attached with the view and it is based on
PageBookView and Page.

Can anyone please tell me where am I doing a mistake and what other
functionality should I implemenet along with the ones that I already have.

Thanks & Regards,
Krum

Hi,

maybe instead of writing your own view, you could use the properties view.

But if you want to write your own view, you need to do the following in
order to make your view react on selections in the active WorkbenchPart:

1) make your editor register a SelectionProvider. (I think this is
already done by GEF):

getSite().setSelectionProvider(provider)

2) register your view as SelectionListener to the Workbench:

getSite().getPage().addSelectionListener(this);

Now your View gets informed about selection changes in the graphical
editor (as well as in other WorkbenchParts).

Maybe the following two articles can help you too:

greetings,
Hans
