Editor loses focus - disable save as [message #462780]

How can you detect if an EditorPart is in focus? When a user switches
between an editor and a view I would like to disable the Save As option for
the editor. I tried adding the editor as a part listener to detects it's
corresponding IPartListener2.partDeactivated(..) method, but the problem is
that the EditorPart.isSaveAsAllowed() method is invoked before the
IPartListener2.partDeactivated(..) is invoked, so it's not possible to use
the deactivate event to change the Save As allowed status. Is there
something else I could try?

Thanks.

You can add a focus listener to some control of your editor.
For instance, if you use a text editor, you can catch focus using:
textEditor.getTextViewer().getTextWidget().addFocusListener( new
FocusListener(){
....
});
