Hi;

There is a navigator to chose some application in my RCP program. I want to
make show this navigator when mouse on it. If mouse not on it, the navigator
will be hide automaticly.

How can I do this?

For example The GEF Pallette is working this like

Thank you

if it's hidden, how can your mouse be over it? :-)

I would first try fast views (or the new min/max behaviour in the 3.3
presentation, if you're on 3.3). Fast views only appear when you click
on their icon in the trim area.

The "next" option would be to have a mouse-listener on whatever target
you want, and then use IWorkbenchPage showView/hideView ... the downside
is that this will potentially destroy/recreate the view.

Or try and mix them. Make it a fast view, and then use IWorkbenchPage
activate(*) to make it appear when you want.

Later,
