Hi,

During last week working on editor. I observerved partActivated notification occur before the partClosed notification which cause problem for some workflows.

Can anybody guide me to change the order of notification, partClosed notification occur before partActivated which seems logical order?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Omer,
are you talking about partActivated and partClosed of different parts? Otherwise it seems to me quite logical that you first activate the part and then close it. At least activation of a closed part doesn't seem to be logical.

Make sure your handler restricts itself to the parts which make sense in your specific context.

e.g.


public void partVisible(IWorkbenchPartReference partRef) {
			
if (MY_PART_ID.equals(partRef.getId())
{
  // do something here if MY_PART became visible
}
else
{
  // do nothing if another part became visible
}


Regards,
Thorsten

Thorsten,

Yes. I am talking about different parts. When we open multiple editor parts and we close one of the editor part, in this case eclipse WorkbenchPage.firePartActivated first for other editor part which will be visible after closing the selected editor part and then it calls Workbenchpage.firePartClosed for the selected editor part. Actually whatever we have decorated in partActivated method, partClosed method clear all. It doesn't seem logical to me.

when we close editor, it should call partClosed where we may do clean up and then partActivated for the newly visible editor.

Thanks Thorsten.

Can you paste some code to get an idea what your listener is actually trying to achieve?

Have a look over the code

      
public void partClosed(IWorkbenchPart part) {
    if (part == MyEditor.this) {
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
          MyEditorInput vi = (MyEditorInput ) getEditorInput();
	  MyEvent event = createEvent(vi.getViewEvent());
          fireViewRemoved(event);
      });
      close();
    }
}


public void partActivated(IWorkbenchPart part) {
    if (part == MyEditor.this) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
	@Override
	public void run() {
            MyEvent event = createEvent(vi.getViewEvent());
            fireViewSelected(event);
        }
	});
     }
}

Unfortunately your code does not reveal the problem to me. The real problem must be located somewhere within the listeners to your MyEvents or the fireViewMethods respectively. It does not make sense to guess about this problem. But since you are dealing with different parts I would expect that - when handling ViewRemoved - you should actually be able to distinguish between the current activeSelectedView and the formerly activeSelectedView.

One other thing that strikes my eye is, that you use SwingUtils. Within SWT you should use the Display in order to place async calls to the dispatch thread.

So something like this:

partRef.getPage().getWorkbenchWindow().getShell().getDisplay().asyncExec(runnable)


Instead of SwingUtils.invokeLater().

Thorsten

Thanks Thorsten.

We are using swt_awt bridge for our classic components and this event actually invokes swing components that's why we are using SwingUtils.invokeLater().

we are planning to re-write our swing components in SWT.
