XtextEditor with folding disabled by default [message #1014812]

I need to have a XtextEditor which has folding disabled by default.

In other words, I want that folding is disabled by default, in the same way the user can disable it by deselecting "Folding" -> "Enable Folding" from the context menu.

How can I get that?

Thanks in advance
Marco

Hi,

simply subclassing DefaultFoldingRegionProvider and binding it doesnt work?

Ok, it works by overriding getFoldingRegions method Smile

, but if I only want to change the preference value (disabling it by default and not completely), how can I do it?

In addition, is there a way to completely disable the folding from the context menu?

Thanks again,
Marco

Hi,

regarding the second question, bind your own implementation of XtextEditor and override the rulerContextMenuAboutToShow method. You should be able to remove the foldingMenu again.

Alternatively (if you want to use the default behaviour but only not to use folding at the beginning you may override
org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.XtextEditor.installFoldingSupport(ProjectionViewer)
and e.g. calling projectionViewer.doOperation(ProjectionViewer.TOGGLE); once mor
so that folding is disabled again
