Selecting Working Sets for "Open Type Dialog" Programmatically [message #765918]

Hi all,

In Eclipse (as a user), I can select some working sets for "Open Type Dialog" to filter the search results as follows:
- Open "Open Type Dialog"
- Down arrow => Select Working Set...
- Choose all working sets you want and apply them.

My question: can this be done programmatically in a plug-in?
I want:
1- to get the working sets possible for the filter (I guess I can you IWorkingSetManager for this)
2- to programmatically set this filter (i.e., only select some of them for "Open Type Dialog")

Thanks in advance, best regards,

Do you really want to "hack" the existing 'Open Type' dialog or rather
open such a dialog from your code? If the latter, use
one of the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaUI.createTypeDialog(...) methods.

Dani,

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to open the dialog (I knew how to do that). I just want to change its filter properties programmatically (I guess that was your way of saying hack Smile

)

Is it possible (with a clear API)?

Thanks,

Yes, specify a TypeSelectionExtension implementation when you create the dialog and implement the getFilterExtension() method to provide your filter.

Hi Francis Upton,

I am not sure if I understood your solution correctly. I want to change the default behavior of Open Type Dialog that is invoked by shortcut ctrl+shift+T (or through the menu). I am not creating any dialogs myself. Is that still possible?

If so, could you provide some more details?

Thank you,

I don't think that's possible. But I'm not the authority on this. I recommend you post a new question with the title "Adding a filter to an Open Type dialog that is invoked by everyone" and explain your question there. Then Dani should see that and can give you a definitive answer.
