Hi,

Does anyone have a clue about how to rename viewPart name in a direct way in the application (the functionaity of setPartName but via a mouse click or similar).

Thanks,
Amir

There's no "change this part name" command, if that's what you are asking.

But you could easily write one yourself.

Thanks for the input.
Is it possible then to access the default PartView popup menu and add a "rename" action there?

What do you consider as the "default PartView popup"? View part context
menus are defined for each view part individually.

When I "right-click" on the view part tab I have a default popup/context menu with various actions (Maximize, Minimize, Close, Detached,...).
I wish to access it and add a new action (aka "Rename"). I have been trying to do that but for no avail.
Is this possible and if so, how?

Thanks
