Part on top of a PartSashContainer [message #1181871]

Hi all,

I've the following configuration in my Application.e4xmi:

+-------- Trimmed Window
  +------ Controls
    +---- Perspective Stack
      +-- Controls
        + Part
        + PartSashContainer

The Part gets rendered always left besides PartSash Container (I think it's of org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.renderers.swt.ContributedPartRenderer#createWidget, where the composite is created with new FillLayout(SWT.VERTICAL)). How can I achieve that the Part is rendered on top of PartSashContainer?

Thanks in advance,

Ralf.

Make it look like:

Controls
+ PartSashContainer (vertical)
+ Part
+ PartSashContainer

This works, but I want to fix the divider. Like this:

+---------------+
|C|O|O|L|B|A|R  |
+---------------+  <-- this divider shouldn't be moveable!
|               |
| Application   | 
| area          |
|               |
+---------------+

I can't use the trimmed toolbar, because I didn't found a possibility to put larger icons on it with text beneath.
How can I get this?

Ralf.

This is not supported by the e4 SWT implementation. You'd have to create
a custom PartSashRenderer.

The JavaFX renderer support this but well they are for FX ;-)

Just add ToolControl instead of ToolBar as contents of your window's Top TrimBar.

You create contents of ToolControl like you do for MPart - with @PostConstruct annotated method in class contribution. That's where you can create yout custom CoolBar widget.

Sure, but I thought he gave up on toolbar already anyway. With items being of wrong size or something.

Hi Andrzej,
this was exactly what I'd looked for. Works perfectly. Thanks!

Ralf.
