Discovering cheatsheet command serialization parameters [message #623819] Wed, 23 December 2009 23:21 Go to next message

Hi,

A really basic question here, but I can't figure out how or even if I can specify additional parameters for a given particular command or how even to inspect the command underlying it. Or is it always the case that a command only takes the parameters that show up in the cheat sheet browse dialog?

For example, I'd think that org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui.addLocation would take a parameter to specify the location, but it doesn't, and I'd like to see how it's implemented.

As a related question (and another way to solve the same issue) I couldn't find a command to enter arbitrary text into the focussed widget. Is there such a thing?

thanks again,

Miles

The cheat sheet editor can handle the command serialization for you.

If you are using the Eclipse SDK File/New/Other/User Assistance/ Cheat Sheet will take you into the editor or you can just open a cheat sheet by double clicking on it.

Then select an item and click the Browse button in the "Command" section in the bottom right of the editor.

thanks, Chris.

Yep, I was just wondering if there is a path to getting documentation about what the parameters are for a particular command, where it is implemented and so on similar to the extension points references. I guess I was remembering wrong but I thought that some of these commands could take additional parameters in some cases.

Any ideas on how to enter text for help content using the command framework?

The only way I know how to create help content which uses commands is to cut and paste an existing command link and change the parameters.
