Hi,
I know for Views you can do the following
getViewLayout( PrioritiesView.ID_VIEW).setCloseable( false );
which gets rid of the close button for the view and the tab simply
shows name and icon... can this be applied to EditorPart... so i could
open an editor part and display its name and icon but not close button
so it can not be closed.
thanks,
Parwiz

You can do it, but it's painful (at least the way I did it.) It basically
comes down to plugging in your own custom PresentationFactory. The way I
did it was in 4 steps:
1. Add an extension in your plugin.xml that looks like the following:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.presentationFactories">
<factory
class="com.my.MySpecialPresentationFactory"
name="My Special Presentation"
id="my.SpecialPresentation"/>
</extension>
2. Write your PresentationFactory class, which subclasses the default
"WorkbenchPresentationFactory". You only need to override one method,
which is called "createEditorPresentation(...)" What I did was to copy
the source from the original method, and replace the first few lines with
the following...
public class MySpecialPresentationFactory extends
WorkbenchPresentationFactory {
public StackPresentation createEditorPresentation(Composite parent,
IStackPresentationSite site) {
DefaultTabFolder folder = new MySpecialTabFolder(parent, SWT.BORDER,
site.supportsState(IStackPresentationSite.STATE_MINIMIZED),
site.supportsState(IStackPresentationSite.STATE_MAXIMIZED));
... rest of method remains unchanged ...
3. Create your MySpecialTabFolder class as follows:
public class MySpecialTabFolder extends DefaultTabFolder {
public MySpecialTabFolder(Composite parent, int flags, boolean allowMin,
boolean allowMax) {
super(parent, flags, allowMin, allowMax);
}
public AbstractTabItem add(int index, int flags) {
// in our "special" editor tabs don't want "close" controls, so
// we remove them here
return super.add(index, flags ^ SWT.CLOSE);
}
}
4. Register your presentation factory. In your WorkbenchAdvisor class,
add the following line. (I added it in the preWindowOpen() method)
configurer.setPresentationFactory(new MySpecialPresentationFactory());
So, basically, this "special" tab folder removes the "CLOSE" bit from the
style flag, and you end up with a editor tab that cannot be closed by the
user.
Yes, a lot of steps, but it does work nicely.
Let me know if you have any more questions about this.
