Dynamically creating SWT components in e4 parts [message #1031883]

Hi,

I am using SWT with eclipse 4. I have created two parts. I have a SWT button in first part and on its click event I want to add a new button on the second part.

I tried to implement a simple UI as in
http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseRCP/article.html#tutorial_maps

and I was able to load maps of different cities on the button clicks, but not able to do it for creating a new component on button click. Initially I want my second part to be blank.

Thanks,
Peeyush

@PostConstruct
static void addButton()
{
but1 = new Button (parentTemp, SWT.BORDER);
but1.setText ("C-"+counter);
but1.setVisible(true);
}

Worked. But have to minimize or maximize the window to see the change. Working on how to refresh it through the code. Smile

ANybody knows about it ?

Use the IEventBroker to publish an event on the bus when the first button is called and have the second part register a listener method through DI (@UIEventTopic etc.) and add the second button in this method. This way you have no coupling whatsoever between parts and composites.
