Status-Line not updating ?? [message #444174] Fri, 10 February 2006 11:07 Go to next message

Hello,

in my current RCP application project I'm making usage of the status
line where I want to display the server connection status. To do that I
created a StatusLineManager that checks regulary in a thread for changes
of the connection. Now I've the problem that the text in status line
does not beeing updated even if I change the text. Therefore I use this
method in my manager:


private void setStatusText(String text, boolean error) {
if (error) {
statusLineManager.setErrorMessage(text);
} else {
statusLineManager.setMessage(text);
}
statusLineManager.update(true);
}

Accordingly to the document of the update method the status line should
be updated immediately but it doesn't?

Anyone knows what going on with that status line?
I didn't add any StatusLineContributionItem's cause I just only need the
pure text display of the status line.

Thanks,
Gunnar

if you need to access the statusline from the view use:
getViewSite().getActionBars().getStatusLineManager().setMess age(msg);

don't forgot to write
configurer.setShowStatusLine(true);
in the preWindowOpen() method of the ApplicationWorkbechWindowAdivisor

Yes, I know but that's now my problem. I 've access to the
StatusLineManger but I don't know why he's not updating the elements
that it controls after changes with setMessage() or setErrorMessage().

Hi, :)

I have a similar problem.

my perspective is split into three parts:
layout.addStandaloneView(OutlookBarView.ID, false, IPageLayout.LEFT, 0.15f, editorArea);
layout.addStandaloneView(EmptyOne.ID, false, IPageLayout.BOTTOM, 0.90f, OutlookBarView.ID);
IFolderLayout folder = layout.createFolder("messages", IPageLayout.RIGHT, 0.85f, editorArea);
folder.addPlaceholder(StartView.ID + ":*");
folder.addView(StartView.ID);

I'm using the statusline to display a date filter, the user can enable or disable.
My problem is, when I start the program everything works fine, i can select a date, set the date and use the filter.
Now, if i open a new View, the statusLine is reset and it shows the initalizing state (that is disabled) but should keep the datefilter information that was set in the statusline before.
The other thing is, when I click in the different views, different dates are displayed - very strange, though :">

Does every view has its own statusline or can one use one and the same for all?


Another little problem is, I would like to add a separator that displays a vertical line in the statusline. I tried using the jface separator but when I add it with e.g.:
slm.appendToGroup("BEGIN_GROUP", new Separator());
it is neither displayed in the statusline nor throws any exception. So, what am I doing wrong?


Could anyone help me solving those problems please ? :)

Thanks,
Nico

I have a button in the statusLine, with which you can enable/disable the filter and open a new shell in which you can specify a filter setting etc.
The problem was that I initalize the slm in the workbenchwindowadvisor, so everytime I use the "update()" method the initial state is recreated - so, if the initial state was enabled the button is alse re-enabled although it should have been disabled.

I solved it the following way:
Since I have a "runtime"-userclass that stores some of the user settings on run time, I just set a boolean in it.
So everytime the button is enabled or disabled the boolean is changed. Now, everytime after the statusLineManager is updated, I have to make a call for the boolean and set the button state to that state it is supposed to be :)

a bit complicated but it works, though :)

btw, Thanks for the hint with the separator label - works fine for me :)
