Hello Everyone,

I have a plugin application and want a view to be visible after the
user clicks on a button. My view class extends the ViewPart class. I
instantiated my view class in the event handling method of the button but
it never gets visible, i always have to manually open the view by going
through window,show view, other.

How can i open a view programatically?


Thanks.


Darren

there are two showView methods that can be reached like this:

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().showView

if your event handler is a IHandler then you can use HandlerUtil to get to
the methods.
