Perspective / part not changeable [message #893959]

Hello

how can I set a Part not to be closable? similar to SimpleIDE; where I cannot move outline, navigator, bottom view. if I want a view to be shown (one custom, one live application model), they are always shown in the bottom part, and I neither can move them.

where is this behavior customized?

thanks a lot

For the part not to be closeable you have to set MPart.setCloseable(false);

To enable drag and drop add the dnd addon to your app. It is in the swt.addons plugin.

Thanks for answer, but the thing is still weird.

within SimpleIDE Code, there is only one occurence of setCloseable which does not explain that I cannot close navigator, outline, etc. and I cannot either find swt.addons plugin in any of the projects.

PS: maybe I expressed myself not fully correctly. by closing I meant also minimizing / maximizing.
and I am also wondering, within SimpleIDE, how can I enforce, that a specific view is shown in given Part.

Trouble solved.

also minMax feature is part of addons.swt. including the plugin enables both drag&drop and min/max.

one question still remains open and I hope someone can help me.

when I start the product from within Eclipse, then emf.liveeditor for application model won't start using shortcut Alt+Shift+F9.

if I export whole app to a standalone version in a separate directory, then also live editor works. why is there such difference between starting a version from eclipse and as a standalone version?

thanks a lot

It sounds like your Run Configuration is missing a key bundle. I'd suggest you use the OSGi console and use the "diag" command to ensure the org.eclipse.e4.tools.emf.liveeditor bundle is available. See the following URL for details on using the console:

Hi

now it goes.. and I did not change anything.
thanks anyway for your help

I did look also in the run configuration of the product and the plugin was there.. next time if it happens, I will try to look into osgi console

Hi Marek,

I have seen ALT+SHIFT+F9 not working if you do not implement @Focus on every Part and if the wrong Part has focus. Maybe this was your issue?

Moin Lars.

in this case @Focus was implemented in all 3 Parts and, as stated above, starting application from standalone eclipse.exe launcher brought me different results, as starting it from within Eclipse IDE. this I was wondering at most about.

I was also trying to click on each part and then launch liveeditor but nothing did work (on launch from eclipse)

thanks for hint

Marek

Hi Marek,

I also have seen key bindings fail, if @Focus only sets focus to a label but was unable to reproduce it. Best regards, Lars
