Difficulties with StructuredTextEditor in a MultiPageEditorPart [message #211601]

I have a MultiPageEditorPart which offers a GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette
and a StructuredTextEditor. Things work pretty good except that the Source
menu has problems when my StructuredTextEditor is active. The menu labels
are not being retrieved nor do the actions function as expected.

For example, the "Source" menu shows "ToggleComment.label",
"AddBlockComment.label", etc. Only "Shift Right", "Shift Left", and
"Format" appear and function as expected. Clicking any of the problemmatic
actions, such as "ToggleComment.label", has no effect.

I assume I need to do something with the action contributor of the
StructuredTextEditor when the multipage editor makes it the active part.
However, I am not sure what that is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Which version are you using? Have you told the StructuredTextEditor
about your main editor part?

Thank you for replying.

Yes, I set my MultiPageEditorPart as the StructuredTextEditor's content
via setEditorPart.

Regarding the version (excerpts from Configuration Details):

org.eclipse.wst (1.5.1.v200609111500-X3TmmF3AeboB5EW) "Web Standard Tools
(WST)"

Plugins:
org.eclipse.wst.sse.core (1.1.100.v200609182120) "Structured Text Model"
[Active]
org.eclipse.wst.sse.doc.user (1.0.203.v200608300230) "Structured text
editor and snippets documentation" [Resolved]
org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui (1.0.200.v200609211325) "Structured Source Editor"

Hmm, best to open a bug report, then. If at all possible, also try
it with the upcoming 3.0M6 build. The menu contribution story has
been revamped to make use of handlers and UI contexts, and it's
possible that the problem is fixed by these changes.

If your multipage editor edits xml content, the easiest thing to do prior
to WTP 3. M6 would be to add the following code to your multipage editor:
/**
* @see
org.eclipse.ui.part.MultiPageEditorPart#createSite(org.eclip se.ui.IEditorPart)
*/
protected IEditorSite createSite(IEditorPart page) {
IEditorSite site = null;
if (page == editor) {
site = new MultiPageEditorSite(this, page) {
public String getId() {
// Sets this ID so nested editor is configured for XML source
return ContentTypeIdForXML.ContentTypeID_XML + ".source";
//$NON-NLS-1$;
}
};
}
else {
site = super.createSite(page);
}
return site;
}

See this page for more info:

After 3.0 M6, check out this wiki page for more info:
