Loosing SelectionProvider when opening file in editor [message #644354] Fri, 10 December 2010 16:45 Go to next message

Hi all,

I've got the following problem while extending an example for selective (popup-)menucontribution in following scenario:
View A: ListViewer (Selection of Items)
View B: Editor (Edit of selected item)

I created a popup menu contribution with visibleWhen statement like this:
<menuContribution
allPopups="false"
locationURI="popup:de.franke.editortest.view">
<command
commandId="de.franke.editortest.openEditorPopup"
label="OpenEditorPopup"
style="push">
<visibleWhen
checkEnabled="false">
<reference
definitionId="oneItemSelected">
</reference>
</visibleWhen>
</command>
</menuContribution>

The referenced expression follows the example of vogellas tutorial:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.core.expressions.definitions">
<definition
id="oneItemSelected">
<with
variable="selection">
<count
value="1">
</count>
</with>
</definition>
</extension>

View A is the selectionProvider as of tutorial. If view A has focus all works fine (invisible if nothing selected and visible if one item selected).
If I execute the command in popup menu the item is opened in editor which gets focus immediately - OK

If I move over the list now (while editor has focus) and press right mouse button - no popup appears. Seems logical because I lost my selectionprovider due to focus change - but how can I change the behaviour to those like in eclipse IDE. It focuses the ProjectExplorer View and current item automatically when right click and may change the selection as well - both does not happen in my application. Isn't that any standard behaviour - are there any hacks to do to get this?

Thanks

regards

Does your viewPart#setFocus() set focus on your viewer control?

Yes Iset focus on viewer.

public class View extends ViewPart {
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
....
tviewer = new TreeViewer(parent);
tviewer.setContentProvider(new ITreeContentProvider() {
....
}
}

public void setFocus() {
tviewer.getControl().setFocus();
}
...
}

But the whole view tab in my application does not get focus at all.

The items get selected on right mouse click, but the view does not get focus - I don't know how it works. I searched for a focusListener in TreeViewer but there isn't any ...
