Collapsible Views possible? [message #206360]

Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to make a view collapse or minimize,
like having multiple minimizable document windows in a image-editing
application like PhotoShop? Or even the stackable palettes in PhotoShop
that can be minimized or expanded?

Thanks,
Lindsey.

Fast Views are probably close to what you want, though not exactly. Open
up your Eclipse Help window and search for "Fast Views" - it will give
you all the info.

Thanks for the reply.... yes, Fast Views are not quite what I'm really
looking for. May be the size of a view can be modified during runtime so
that a listener could be assigned to the view, and call a resizing function?

Thanks,
Lindsey.

In addition to fast views, you can "roll up" views in Eclipse 3.0. This
minimizes the view part to just the title bar, yielding most of the
view's vertical space to the view above or below it.

That sounds exactly what I'm looking for.... is there any documentation
on how to do this?

Thanks,
Lindsey.

This kind of part layout manipulation is usually not available through
API because it locks the platform into supporting those kinds of
presentations indefinitely. I suspect there won't be API for minimizing
parts in 3.0 (I could be wrong, I'm not in the UI team).
