Detached view and perspective change [message #535671]

Hi all,
I have to handle a situation in my rcp app where I have some detached
views opened and they have to stay opened after a perspective change.

By now I save the detached views before the perspective change and add
them to the new perspective after the change. This works, but the visual
effect is not so good because I see the views closing and opening again.
So I'm looking for a way to mantain the detached views opened in a
perspective change in a way that the user does not notice any window
flickering.

Does anybody have an idea on how to do this?

Thanks,
Fabian

Maybe the "sticky views" works for you, in case that this views are available in all perspectives ?!?

Did you tried that yet?

Actually I've thought of using sticky views, but my view should not live
across all perspectives, just across 2 perspectives. And AFAIK a sticky
view is shared across perspectives, but the position of the view is not:
if I detach the view in a perspective, the view is not detached in all
perspectives. Please tell me if I'm wrong with this point.

Can you give some info on how you're doing this? I have the same requirement & would like to try do something similar in my application. Or have you found another solution in the meantime
