Cheat Sheet : Access Editor & Switch Pages [message #795108]

Hello everyone,

I have a cheatSheet which opens a new wizard, on completion of the wizard.
The user selects Finish and a Editor is opened,

Now my question is :

Is it possible to provide commands in the cheat sheet which will switchPages in the
editor? My goal is to get the Editor Page and work with it(Press a button on the screen etc.. ).

Thanks
Mak

Hello all,

I found out how to hook an action to our cheat sheet.

in the <item> OR <subitem> tag add the following element

<action pluginId="com.xyz.abc.myplugin.ui" class="com.xyz.abc.myplugin.ui.handlers.CheatSheetActionHandler" param1="stringParamter" />

The CheatSheetActionHandler

run(String[] params, ICheatSheetManager manager) { IEditorPart activeEditor = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().getActiveEditor(); ...

method will be called, where you can use access the editor and eventually get the required page/section etc..

I found this useful tutorial

I have a differnt cheatSheet plugin & CheatSheet handler in the plugin where my editor is, so that i don't have to worry about imports Razz

Ciao
Mak
