Overriding TreeViewer Find action [message #526130] Thu, 08 April 2010 19:22 Go to next message

Is it possible to override the TreeViewer Find action? I have a
TreeViewer and I want to find specific elements in the tree but not by
the element display label.

For example, my objects in the tree viewer are from my database model
and I want to find (an) object by an attribute of the object. This
object attribute is not part of the name displayed in the tree.

Sooo, if someone hit Ctrl-F, a dialog would popup allowing me to control
the 'find' action.

Thanks!

Boy, spend a couple of months away from Eclipse-land and I forget
everything; must be my advanced age......

This is a simple problem to solve and I've solved it before with cut n
paste site-specific actions.....

For completeness, here's the answer:

In my main RCP app plugin ActionBarAdvisor class:

private IWorkbenchAction findAction;
protected void makeActions(IWorkbenchWindow window) {
findAction = ActionFactory.FIND.create(window);
register (findAction);
}

In my plugin/class with the TreeViewer:

public class MyView extends ViewPart {
private FindAction findAction = new FindAction();
private TreeViewer treeViewer;

public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {

IActionBars actionBars = getViewSite().getActionBars();

actionBars.setGlobalActionHandler
(ActionFactory.FIND.getId(), findAction);
}

private class FindAction extends WorkbenchActionBase {
public void run () {
// display custom dialog with filter widgets
if (dialog.open() == Window.OK) {
Object[] selectedObjects = dialog.getSelection();
if ((null != selectedObjects)
&& (selectedObjects.length > 0))
{
treeViewer.setSelection
(new StructuredSelection
(selectedObjects[0]));
}
}
}
}
}

You might also want to take a look at FilteredTree.
