Hi,

When a menu item is clicked, how to create a new Part programmatically.
I have the following in my xmi file

PartSashContainer
PartStack
Part - "WatchList"
Sash
PartStack
Part - "Chart"

During the run time when the user clicks "NewWatchList" ( DirectToolItem )
I would like to create and show a new Part along with "WatchList" Part. The
result similar to the following entry in xmi file.

PartSashContainer
PartStack
Part - "WatchList"
Part - "NewWatchList"
Sash
PartStack
Part - "Chart"

I am clue less on how to achieve this. FYI, I am using M3.

Best Regards,
Walter G. Prabhakar.

You can add a PartDescriptor in M3, and then use the
EPartService#showView(*) to show it (similar to IWorkbenchPage#showView(*)).

Or you can find your PartStack and use
org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.MApplicationFactory to create the
appropriate new MPart, then add it as a child or your PartStack.

You can use the IEclipseContext for this:

MPartStack sampleStack = (MPartStack) context.get( "sampleStackID" );
