I'm not sure I understood. You want an area (MArea?) not to move when you change perspectives? Much like the place where eclipse ide places the editors (java,xml etc)?

I am too facing a similar problem as jim.
I am looking for a way to share a part(or view) across multiple perspectives in a e4 RCP application, till now I did not find any tutorial or example explaining about shared elements. Can anyone please explain briefly about how to share elements in e4.

@jim did u find a solution to your problem ?

What about adding the parts to the MWindow.getSharedElements() collection? I haven't checked it, but it can solve the issue

Daniel is right.

As far as I understand, if the part is declared in each perspective, then it is created multiple times, but if you declare it in sharedElements, then you can use PlaceHolders in any perspective and set reference to this single part. In this case, there is always only one instance of the part (well, unless you close all placeholders, then this part is destroyed, but still can be created when you open it again).

Note: if you create a new perspective in different plugin and you put there a placeholder and you want to set reference to the part from sharedElements of the main app, you might not find there anything. I can't remember what was the problem, I believe there is some issue with the "find", that it only search within current plugin, while it should seatch also withing plugins, on which current project depends. Anyway, what I do, is to create a separate addon in which I manually set references to the placeholder.

You you still need some example, I may try to prepare one for you within next few days.

Hello Mateusz,

If you have an example to have a single view instance in multiple perspective, can you post it?
I have tried to implement it without success...

Thanks for you help!
Best regards

Guillaume

Hi Guillaume!

I created a small example with two perspectives and single part. You may notice that text which you type, will appear in both perspectives, as they have placeholders which hold reference to single part implementation.
I hope this helps you!

Cheers,
Mateusz

There's some magic to re-establishing the reference from an MPlaceholder to its MPart; use the *same* id. If you create an MPlaceholder and leave its ref as 'null' but give it the id of the mpart then the renderer will establish the reference 'on demand'...
