Dear all,

i'm trying to create a MultiPageEditor with a Flyout Palette shared
between the different pages.

I would like to have one single editDomain for all the various editor
pages (one single command stack) and a palette that change contents based
on the current selected page. There would be one PaletteRoot with children
swapped in/out on page activation.

I'm having some trouble in setting up the palette viewer correctly (only
the last added palette page works), but more important i don't know if i'm
taking the right approach.

Are there some guidelines to follow? Is it there a (simple) example to
study?


Thanks in advance

Are you trying to share the palette viewer instance across the pages? you
could do this. The FlyoutPaletteComposite is designed to host any Control
as the "diagram", so your tabfolder could be the diagram center.

Yes, i would like to come up with a single palette viewer shared between
the various pages of the editor. The elements of the palette would be
inserted/removed when a page is changed on the editor gui.

At the moment inside the editor page code i've got the following logic:
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
//the single shared pvp created by the owner editor
PaletteViewerProvider pvp = getPaletteViewerProvider();

splitter = new FlyoutPaletteComposite(parent, SWT.NONE,
getSite().getPage(), pvp, getPalettePreferences());

Composite composite = new Composite(splitter, SWT.NONE);

splitter.setGraphicalControl(composite);
...
}
but this come out with different palette viewer for the various page...
Should i create a shared FlyoutPaletteComposite instead?

Regards

The Flyout should be created by the MPE, not each page.

OK.

The point is that the flyout is asking for a parent composite in its
constructor.
How could i select a right one taking into account the fact that the same
viewer should then be reused inside the different pages? (every page has
its own parent composite under which new page's elements are attached,
given in the createPageControl method)

Thanks in advance

The palette's parent composite should be the multipage editor's control, not
the pages' controls.

Actually, it can just be the Composite that the workbench passes to the
Editor.
