Hello everybody!
Is there a possibility to hide a view after the start of application.
For example, I was working with my application, then something happened
and the view is hidden. And cannot be shown from Show View selection. Is
that possible?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Regarding the problem with "Hide the view name from Window-->Show View":
A discussion has been going on about this topic - search for
"Hide the view name from Window-->Show View" - may this will give you
some clue.

Regarding the hiding of the view itself it may be possible to use the
startup extension point of eclipse and hide the view there (just a guess
- I don't know ;-)).

HTH,
Stefan

Hi Stefan
Thank for your answer. Yep, I have been there and know how to hide the
views dynamically on startup. I even know how to hide the view using the
reflection(getting private field) and removing it from the registry
after the start-up on demand. But I do not like that, if you know what I
mean. So, I want an honest way.

What about tying that view id to an activity? You should be able to
make it disappear by setting the activity to false.

Oh, Right!
That is a good idea! Do you think that will make it disappear from the
Show View menu?
