reverse/undo dirty state in an editor? [message #336097] Thu, 21 May 2009 10:39 Go to next message

Hi,

I have a simple EditorPart implementation (a few text input fields).
When the user changes one of the the text fields, the implementation

a.) lets the isDirty method return true
b.) fires a firePropertyChange(IEditorPart.PROP_DIRTY);

As effect the editor gets its dirty flag '*' in the name and the save
action which has been added to the toolbar [via
ActionFactory.SAVE.create(window) in the ActionBarAdvisor implemenation]
gets enabled. Fine so far.

If the user reverses its change (e.g. removing a character previously
added in a text field), my EditorPart implementation

a.) lets the isDirty method return false
b.) fires a firePropertyChange(IEditorPart.PROP_INPUT);

As effect the editor gets its dirty flag '*' removed again.

However, the save action in the toolbar doesn't get disabled
automatically. Am I doing something wrong when trying to reverse the
dirty state of the editor or do I have to care about the save action by
myself when reversing the editor to 'un-dirty' state?

Thanks
Kris

your second (b) says firePropertyChange(IEditorPart.PROP_INPUT) instead
of PROP_DIRTY. Is that really in your code?

ah - now I got it - always fire PROP_DIRTY - also to indicate that the
editor is not dirty anymore!

Thanks!
