Disable/remove eclipse cheat sheet drop down menu [message #1426188]

HI Forum members,

I am creating a cheat sheet for a tool where the end users has no use of the drop down menu i.e. the "view menu" and the "collapse all.." button (CheatSheetExpandRestoreAction contritubion) from the CheatSheetView. But so far no clue how to remove/disable/ them from cheatsheetview programmetically.

Tried below :
Menu menu = CheatSheetViewerFactory.createCheatSheetView().getControl().getMenu();
Menu menu ViewUtilities.showCheatSheetView();.getCheatSheetViewer().getControl().getMenu();

both cases it is returning null because the menu is being lazily created.

Any pointer to disabling the cheat sheet toolbar will be of appreciated and help well.

thanks,

I am thinking the below process. don't know if it should be a good idea to do that. Hope the expertise in the forum may comment.

Get the CheatSheetView class from cheatplugin i.e. package org.eclipse.ui.internal.cheatsheets.views

and switch-off the actionbars by overriding the contributeToActionBars() method. re-build the plugin and integrate in our product.

This is the only solution running in my brain now. Any body please comment..

finally got a solution to my problem Surprised

thank ME!!
Below is the steps:
CheatSheetView cheatsheetview = ViewUtilities.showCheatSheetView();
cheatsheetview .setInput( "your.cheatsheet.id");

IActionBars bars = view.getViewSite().getActionBars();
menuManager //get MenuManager from bars
toolbarManager //gettoolbarmanager from bars

// remove the menu contributions
menuManager.removeAll();

//iterate the toobar manager and disable the stubborn toobar item
for ( IContributionItem iContributionItem : gettoolbarmanager.getItems() )
{

if ( iContributionItem instanceof ActionContributionItem )
{

if ( ( ( ActionContributionItem ) iContributionItem ).getAction() instanceof CheatSheetExpandRestoreAction )
{
( ( ActionContributionItem ) iContributionItem ).getAction().setEnabled( false );
break;
}
}
}

IWorkbenchPage wp = view.getSite().getWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
wp .bringToTop( view );

Guys again I am at persistence issue with this.
the issue is:
for first time when with a fresh workspace starts. When the cheatsheetview created first time. i could successfully switchoff the actions on actionbar.
So I see the menu items and toolbar is disabled.
but when the tool closed and started again, The view gets shown up again with both the actions (menu items and toobar items) enabled Embarrassed

Some how I have to restore the CheatSheetView persistent when user closes and opens the tool.

I still hope forum members might have faced view persistence issues and there could be a generic solution available for this.

Any pointer on this?

How can I iterate all the views when the workbench window opens for the first time?? I have ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor and has postWindowOpen () method.
The idea is to iterate all views opened and get the reference of CheatSheetView object. It is a bit annoying to replying me only Sad

Than what is the best way to ask questions ?? Plz..

Yes let me reply to me again!
finally it is done! XMLIntro is of no use and irrespective of the file change the view preference remains in-consistence.

so I went to the :void com.***.***.launcher.ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor.openIntro()
{
...........
.....................
iterate for the views :
IWorkbenchWindow[] windowsArray = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getWorkbenchWindows();

for ( iterate the windowsArray )
{
IWorkbenchPage wrkbnchpage = windows[ i ].getActivePage();
IViewReference[] viewReferencesObj = wrkbnchpage.getViewReferences();

//look for CheatSheetView
for( iterate the viewReferencesObj)
{
if(vr.getId().equals( "org.eclipse.ui.cheatsheets.views.CheatSheetView" ))
{
CheatSheetView cheatSheetViewReference = ( CheatSheetView ) vr.getView( true );
if(cheatSheetViewReference != null)
{
//disable the tool bar and menu contributions
}
}
}

}

Here is the code to get the IMemento externally from the View class:
CheatSheetPlugin cheatsheetplugin = CheatSheetPlugin.getPlugin();
IPath stateLocation = cheatsheetplugin.getStateLocation();
FileReader input=null;
try {
IPath buildFilePath=stateLocation.append( File.pathSeparator+"cheatsheet.xml");
if (buildFilePath.toFile().exists()) {
input=new FileReader(buildFilePath.toFile());

XMLMemento memento=XMLMemento.createReadRoot(input);
view.saveState( memento );
}
}
catch (Exception e2)
{
e2.printStackTrace();
}
