Hi all,

I've got an EMF-generated Editor. I open the Editor programmatically
when this editor is the defaultEditor for the file which should be
opened right now.
This all works fine.

My Questions are:
1. Is it possible to open the Editor in minimized state?
2. Is it possible to prevent the user from maximizing/restoring the Editor?

I want to do this, because I don't want the user to see whats in the
Editor(complete EditorInput)! The user should only see what I give em
via some views that show part of the EditorInput.

Thanks for any help
