MasterDetails and inital master selection [message #710639] Fri, 05 August 2011 08:49 Go to next message

Hello all !

I am extensively using th master details pattern of the forms UI. I need one little thing : I would like the master to auto-select its first item when not empty so that details are shown for this element.

It seems harder than expected : if I set the selection during master creation, the item is properly selected in the master, but details are not shown. Afterwards, I don't have the apropriate information to set the selection.

It seems to be done in PDE editors (for example the "extensions" tab), what is the best practice to implement this ?

Thank you very much!
Christophe

Hi,

You need to set the selection after the details parts are registered to master.
In the typical code where master and details are registered add code like following:

	protected void createFormContent(final IManagedForm managedForm) {
		super.createFormContent(managedForm);
		
		this.managedForm = managedForm;
		this.form = managedForm.getForm();
		this.toolkit = managedForm.getToolkit();

		form.setText("Heading");
		form.setImage("Some image");
		toolkit.decorateFormHeading(form.getForm());
		
		dtMasterDetailBlock = new EditorMasterDetailBlock(this, file, populateForDTEnumConstant, model, rootDataType, callback, domain);
		Composite formBody = form.getBody();
		formBody.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, false));


		SashForm sashForm = new SashForm(formBody, SWT.NULL);
		GridDataFactory.fillDefaults().grab(true, true).applyTo(sashForm);
		toolkit.adapt(sashForm, false, false);

		dtMasterDetailBlock.createMasterPart(managedForm, sashForm);

		DetailsPart detailsPart = new DetailsPart(managedForm, sashForm, SWT.NULL);
		managedForm.addPart(detailsPart);

		dtMasterDetailBlock.registerPages(detailsPart);
		dtMasterDetailBlock.createToolBarActions(managedForm);
		
		dtMasterDetailBlock.setInitialSelection();
	}


Check location of : dtMasterDetailBlock.setInitialSelection();
