Hi
Does anyone know how to get hold of the default editor for a file =
type programmatically?
I have tried using this;
IEditorDescriptor d =3D =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getEditorRegistry().getDefaultEdit or( ".xml");
text =3D (AbstractTextEditor) =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().
getActivePage().openEditor(editorInput, d.getId(), false);
However this gives me two side effects of which I don't want.
The first is the editor descriptor specifies an EditorInput and I want =
specify my own.=20
The second is that (I know this is obvious) the editor is opened in the =
editor pane. I want to obtain the IEditorPart and place it within my =
MultiPartEditor.
The reason why I used openEditor is that I could see no other way of =
getting the IEditorPart without using internal stuff such as =
creatEditor()=20
Anyone have any ideas?
thanks

Thanks Paul,
the extension point approach worked I was just begining to
think it was possible to solve my problem.
heres my code
private IConfigurationElement getUIEditorConfigElement(String id){
IEditorDescriptor d =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getEditorRegistry().getDefaultEdit or(id);
IExtensionRegistry registry = RegistryFactory.getRegistry();
IExtensionPoint ext =
registry.getExtensionPoint("org.eclipse.ui.editors");
IConfigurationElement [] configElements =
ext.getConfigurationElements();
for (IConfigurationElement element : configElements) {
String className = element.getAttributeAsIs("class");
if( d.getId().equals(className)){
return element;
}
}
return null;
}
Object of = i.createExecutableExtension("class");
All I need todo now is to fix my "unsupported content type" error!
