[CommonNavigator] Handling Global 'Open' to open an Editor [message #336150] Tue, 26 May 2009 20:54 Go to next message

I think we have a problem, and I'm not sure how to solve it.

I have a registered ActionProvider that I want kicked in whenever the use
double-clicks on an item in the CommonNavigator. The way I solve the
problem is I set the global action handler for the OPEN action to my action
like this:

actionBars.setGlobalActionHandler(ICommonActionConstants.OPE N, _myAction);



This works just fine, as it does open my editor as expected. The problem is
that the editor gets activated and takes focus away from the navigator, and
subsequent dbl-clicks are ignored until I manually give focus back to the
editor.

Can someone help me solve this problem?

BTW, you can see the same behaviour in the IDE's Package Explorer, except
that in this case the Dbl-Click is not being ignored because I'm guessing
(??) that the IDE doesn't override the global OPEN handler?

When I look at the code in the OpenActionProvider in the resources
navigator, it also uses the setGlobalActionHandler strategy. I'm not sure
what I'm doing wrong if anything...

What does the code look like that is opening the editor?
The IWorkbenchPage.openEditor() method allows you to specify whether or
not the opened editor is activated (as do the methods in the class
org.eclipse.ui.ide.IDE which just delegate to IWorkbenchPage).

Hope this helps,
Eric

I solved it. There's a setFocus() method you better override on the editor.
Set this to something in your UI or else the activation doesn't actually get
kicked in properly.

Hi
I have used my own actionProvider class to override copy action from
package explorer but my actionProvider(MindmapNavigatorActionProvider)
class does not get invoked at all. I want my action provider to get
invoked whenever i try to perform a copy on the file of the diagram type.
This is how i have added registered the action handler in the extension
point. Can you pleas tell how u cud get your own action provider invoked .
