Is a ViewPane automatically created when creating ViewPart? [message #560157]

When I create a view extension in the plugin.xml and point to my class HelloView which extends ViewPart how do I then access the ViewPane? Is it automatically created? Or should I make a ViewPane myself and if how?

When I try to create a ViewPane (IViewReference, Workbenchpage) I get a warning with Access restriction :/

So how do I get the ViewPane?

You cannot get a view pane, it's an internal implementation detail.

What are you trying to do, exactly?

Is it then Possible to get the ViewStack?.

On this site:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-UI-Workbench/workben ch.html#mozTocId917303

In section 3.2 I see that I need to get either the ViewPane or the ViewStack in order to user the zoom functionality.

Can't figure out how to zoom otherwise. :/

No. That articles is about the internals of the workbench, and is only
valid for the 3.x stream.

Can't you use the IWorkbenchPage methods?

I have tried the tooglezoom, but can't make it work :/

Do you have a link to any toturials? or can you guide me in how to do it?

You help is very apriciated Smile

Regards

EDIT: Isn't tooglezoom just a maximize window function? What I want is a ZoomIn / ZoomOut which can zoom for example to 200% or to 50%

It doesn't have to be in a ZoomContributionItem because I couldn't make that work, so in a simple popup would be just great also.

Is it possible to get zoom functionality if I extend my SWT controls / visuals with a ViewPane and then some how add this to the viewpart?

I have been told that the above is the way to go, but can't see how to implement it that way.

Thanks for all your time.

Regards

The tooglezoom works now, but it is just the same as maximizing the view.. The same functionality is given when doubleclincking on the view tab.

What I am searching is a way to create an easy zoom function. where the user can select a zoom percentage.
