Hello everyone

I know how to open a view from my code. But is it possible to open that view directly in detached mode from my code? Thank you!

Greetings
Alexandra.

I think no. If there was, there would be a way to mark a view as
detached when creating a presentation.

Thank you for answering!
Well, then I think I'll just have to put the viewer in a dialog.

Hi Alexandra,

Yes, this is possible.

This is what you use in the setfocus method of the view:

@Override
public void setFocus() {
if (!once) {
once = true;
IViewReference ref = getSite().getPage().findViewReference(
"org.eclipse.ecf.salvo.ui.internal.views.postNewArticleView", "1");

((WorkbenchPage)
getSite().getPage()).getActivePerspective().getPresentation( )
detachPart(ref);
getViewSite().getShell().setSize(600, 450);
getViewSite().getShell().setLocation(location.x + 100, location.y + 100);

}
subjectText.setFocus();
}

see:
