Zoom in view? [message #560080]

Hello Experts Smile

I hope I post this topic in the correct folder.

I am trying to add zoom support to my viewpart.
I am looking on this site:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-UI-Workbench/workben ch.html#mozTocId917303

And can see that I should use a ViewPane to get the zoomfunctionality. But I just can see how to get the ViewPane.

My class PrintView extends ViewPart, so is it possible to access the ViewPane trough this?

Hope that someone could guide me a little in how to archive zoom in a view.

PS. I am using SWT controls on my view. I hope that this doesn't introduce any limitations.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards Mikkel

Is it you just want the ability to zoom that view? if it is the active
view, CTRL+M will toggle some out and in.

If you need to do it programmaticly, try
org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPage.toggleZoom(IWorkbenchPartRefer ence)

Hello Paul

Thanks for your help.

The CTRL-M is just for maximize the view. What I want is a zoom function that will maximize the content inside the view. The reason why I ask for the ViewPane is because I have read something about that they have some zoom methods. But If I can't create a ViewPane and can't get access to a instance of one. Then I don't know where to start.

Hope you could guide me in the right direction Smile

Regards
