Programmatically switching to a view [message #247497]

Hello,

I am working on a plugin which provides a view (similar to the search
view). When you search something in the workspace and the view "Search" has
not the focus (e. g. is not activated) the performing the search will cause
the view "Search" to be activated.
In my plugin I want to provide the same functionality. What is the best way
to implement this?

Thanks a lot,

Rudi

Rudi,

Probably you want to use IWorkbenchPage.showView with the ID of your view.
