Command at the wrong view active. [message #490816]

Hello,

I have a problem with a active Handler.

I have a perspective with 3 views. On one is a tree, on one a table ane on the third some text fields.

If the view with the tree is active then 3 commands should be active and enabled. If the view with the table is active then another command shold be enabled, and the tree-commands should be disabled. And if the third View is enabled all commands should be disabled.

<extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
      <handler
            class="de.rcp.command.AddPerson"
            commandId="de.rcp.addPerson">
         <activeWhen>
            <with
                  variable="activePartId">
               <equals
                     value="de.rcp.PersonTreeView">
               </equals>
            </with>
         </activeWhen>
         <enabledWhen>
            <with
                  variable="selection">
               <instanceof
                     value="de.rcp.model.Person">
               </instanceof>
            </with>
         </enabledWhen>
      </handler>

     <handler
            class="de.rcp.command.EditPersonProperties"
            commandId="de.rcp.editPersonProperties">
         <activeWhen>
            <with
                  variable="activePartId">
               <equals
                     value="de.rcp.PersonTableView">
               </equals>
            </with>
         </activeWhen>
         <enabledWhen>
            <with
                  variable="selection">
               <instanceof
                     value="de.rcp.model.Person">
               </instanceof>
            </with>
         </enabledWhen>
      </handler>

The problem is that the commands are active when the respective view isn´t active.

For example if PersonTreeView is active then the command EditPersonProperties is enabled. But this should be disabled for this view, And it is disabled if the PersonTableView is active.

What is my mistake and what must I change, that the commands are on the right view enabled

Have you specified the defaultHandler for the commands? If so you have
to remove them.

You're activeWhen clauses look OK. Make sure (as Prakash suggested) that you have no defaultHandler set for your commands.

The enabledWhen won't do what you want, however:
<enabledWhen>
<with
variable="selection">
<instanceof
value="de.rcp.model.Person">
</instanceof>
</with>
</enabledWhen>

A selection is an ISelection which will probably be an IStructuredSelection for your views. You need to use <count/> and <iterate/> before you an use <instanceof/>
