hi all,
Can somebody point me in the right direction concerning editorinputs?
I am not sure i correctly understand them.
I have a multiparteditor that contains two texteditors, that needs to work
on two different parts of a file. Ideally i would like to take the
original editorinput (the original file), and from that create two
editorinputs, one for eact texteditor.
these inputs should be adapters to the original input, so that when i make
changes in either texteditor the original input is updated, and when i
save the file, the entire file is saved.
i think this can be achieved using the getAdapter method on the
IEditorInput but i can find no real documentation on this.
Am i going at it the wrong way?
any help or pointer would be appreciated
sincerely

I assume you use MultipageEditorPart (MultiPageEditor is deprecated) and
there you can explicitly provide the editor input when adding a page,
see addPage(IEditorPart, IEditorInput). You have two choices: implement
your own IEditorInput covering a part of a file or implement your own
text editor that takes an IFileEditorInput and only shows the desired part.

hi daniel,
i do use the MultipageEditorPart as you guessed.
i think my confusion runs a little deeper than that.
Is there any articles describing the relationship between editorinputs and
editorparts?
ideally what i would like is to have an eclipse-agnostic model that can be
represented as both xml (in one editor) and as graphics (in another
editor). disregarding the graphics part for now, i think of the
editorinput as an adapter to the model. if this is so, then i lack some
medthods on the input (such as getting data and setting data - is this
happening through the getAdapter method?)
the general relationship between editorparts and editorinputs confuse me,
so any help is appreciated.
sincerely

Well that's wrong. It is rather a description of how/where the input is
persisted/coming from. The Java editor's input for example can be file
editor input or storage editor input among others and not the Java
model element.
