Open editor in split view by code [message #989253]

Hi,

how can I open an editor in splitview by code. This means the editor I open shall be positioned next to the editor that is already open. There is a code snippet for Eclipse 3 http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/705113/#msg_705113 but I cannot find some of the classes like EditorSashContainer.

Thanks!

Ralph

You'll need to use the EModelService. Basically you need to create a new part stack, add your new editor to that stack, and then insert the new part stack to the left or right of the part stack containing the other editor using the model service.

Hi,

thanks for the reply. I use the following code to try and find an open editor:

EModelService modelService = (EModelService)PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService(EModelService.class);
MApplication app = (MApplication)PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService(MApplication.class);
MUIElement uiElement = (MUIElement)modelService.find("id from org.eclipse.ui.editors", app);

This, however, returns a MToolbar instead of an editor. Do you have a plan what goes wrong there?
