Bug check + RCP key handler [message #123359]

Sun, 21 March 2004 11:23

Eclipse User

I'm using the latest integration release of GEF. When I launch my
application independent of the org.eclipse.ide, the keyhandler seems to
work okay (i.e. CTRL + Z) generates an undo event. However, when my
application is launched using an RCP configuration key events are ignored.
Is this a bug? Is there a a fix independent of introducing
org.eclipse.ide?

Thanks.

James

I should have said here "When I launch my application using
org.eclipse.ide".

The IDE declares a global UNDO action. Without this action, registering an
action handler will not do anything.
You need to put an Undo action on the Menubar yourself in RCP.

I already do this, I have added undo (and redo) to the menubar and the
coolbar in my RCP app, but I am unable to trigger it using CTRL+Z,
although this works fine when I include org.eclipse.ide.

And is there anywhere where you wrote the string "CTRL+Z"??
You need to use a keybinding to declare the command and its accelerator.
Then do what you are doing and make sure the aciton has the command's ID
set. Actions and Commands are a PITA, so go ask the experts on
eclipse.platform if you can't get it to work.
