Show a particular PreferencePage? [message #171042] Tue, 16 December 2003 16:28 Go to next message

Is there a cannonical way to cause the workbench preferences dialog to
open on a particular preference page?

There is a showPage(IPreferenceNode) method on the PreferenceDialog, but
it is protected.

The usual approach is to open a preference dialog that contains only
your preference page:

IPreferenceNode targetNode = new PreferenceNode(id, yourPrefPage);
PreferenceManager manager = new PreferenceManager();
manager.addToRoot(targetNode);
PreferenceDialog dialog = new PreferenceDialog(shell, manager);
dialog.create();
dialog.setMessage(targetNode.getLabelText());
dialog.open();

if you EXTEND PreferenceDialog here is a better solution:

/**
* Selects the NODE with the ID
*/
private void selectNode(String id) {

getTreeViewer().expandAll();

IPreferenceNode node=findNode(getPreferenceManager().getRootSubNodes(), id);
if (node!=null){
showPage(node);
getTreeViewer().setSelection(new StructuredSelection(node));
}else{
showPage(getPreferenceManager().getRootSubNodes()[0]);
}

}


/**
* Finds the NODE with the ID
*/
private IPreferenceNode findNode(IPreferenceNode[] nodes, String id){

IPreferenceNode node=null;
for(int i=0; i<nodes.length && node==null; i++){
if (nodes[i].getId().equals(id)){
return nodes[i];
}

IPreferenceNode[] subNodes=nodes[i].getSubNodes();
if (subNodes.length>0)
node=findNode(subNodes,id);
}
return node;
}
