How to hide Minimize/Maximize Buttons from PartStack? [message #965459]

I have a Part Stack, which contains some views.
Now the stack has minimize/maximize buttons, which I do not want for users to use,
since I want to have a fixed layout.

How can I disable and hide the minimize/maximize Buttons from the Part Stack?

Check your addons and remove the MinMaxAddon there.

I tried to remove the MinMax addon from the context - but there was none.
(Injecting the MinMaxAddon.class fails)

How can I remove the MinMaxAddon Addon?

Have a look at your application model. In the section Addons you should find it.

Unfortunately it is not there.

Where can I read more about Addons and expecially about MinMax?

What kind of application are you running? Plain Eclipse 4 or in compatibility mode? As far as I know the min/max buttons are only added to the PartStack if the MinMaxAddon is added. The only information I've found about this is the tutorial by Lars Vogel http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseRCP/article.html

I am running an e4 Application, but there is no MinMax Adon in it!

Do you know, which kind of renderer is responsible for rendering the min/max part of the stack? I thought it would be the org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.renderers.swt.StackRenderer, but it seems to be something else!

Does removing the *.swt.addons from plugin and product work help?

StackRenderer is responsible. MinMax is responsible for putting those min/max buttons in.

Maybe he's coming from a restored state?

You need to remove the org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.swt from your product configuration.

I extended my description to cover this a bit more in detail. See Eclipse 4 Model Addons.

Well it doesn't feel right. I smell a bug around.

Thnx @all, removing "org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.swt" from dependencies AND Eclipse-Run-Configuration helped, the min/max Buttons disappered.
This is behaviour is strange, since I can not use any other addons now?
I will look for the code, which is reponsible for creating the min/max Buttons inside the renderer and remove the buttons from there.
(e.g. when some kind of Tag is given to the Window)

If clearing your workspace (or putting -clearPersistedState) was not enough and you were forced to remove the bundle than it is definitely a bug.

@Sopot: he has to remove the plug-in from the product configuration, that is not a bug. And he has to start everything again from the product to update the runtime configuration. Most people don't know this and therefore update the runtime manually.

Where do you see a potential bug? To me everything sounds correct here.

Suppose in a bundle I have three addons up and running and I decide to remove one. Should I remove and insert bundles for this case? A clearing of the persistent state should be enough to update the list of addons being picked up.

@Lars A bug could be the following behaviour:

Importing "org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.swt" makes the min/max buttons visible, even if I do not import the MinMax Addon to my e4 application Addons.
I had to remove the whole "org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.swt" plugin, in order t ohide the Min/Max buttons for MpartStacks.
This is wrong, because it makes me unable to use another Addons.

Right behaviour should be:
the min/max Buttons are hidden by default. They are explicitely enabled by the MinMax Addon.

P.S.
I wrote you an Email to info(att)vogella.com, to call your attention to this theme.
Is that the wrong way to contact you? Smile

IIRC there is a processor which gets executed upon bundle load that adds all addons of the bundle in the app model regardless of what you define from the e4xmi editor.. So basically you get an "all or nothing" behavior which IMHO is not right.

@Alex this is the current behavior, see Eclipse 4 Modularity to learn about processors.

@Alex/ Sopot I agree it would be desirable to have the option to activate each Add-on on request. Could you open a bug report for that?

Is using the CSS a wrong way. You can explicitly define it in the CSS using swt-maximize-visible: false;swt-minimize-visible: false;
Or am I missing something here

@Nagesh Great idea.

.MPartStack {
swt-maximize-visible: false;
swt-minimize-visible: false;
}

works fine. I still think having a tag which allows to define this specific to a PartStack would be useful.

Ghm, I wether have a CSS class, nor I have a CSS Id associated with the min-max Buttons.
Do you have to add them manually?
