reload property pages if property changes [message #228811]

hello,
I've written a new property page which changes the include paths of a
configuration. The problem is that when I switch to the PathAndSymbol page
and look at the IncludeTab there, I do not see the change.
If I cancel the property dialog and reopen it, the IncludeTab shows the
includes correctly. But if I close the property dialog by pressing 'ok',
my values get lost and the IncludeTab shows the old values.
Is it possible to tell all the property pages or (even better) just one
property page to reload their property values?
thx

It sounds like you're updating the settings on your own project
description rather than the project description handed to your property
page by the AbstractCPropertyTab interface.

Is your page extending AbstractCPropertyTab? If so you should be hooked
into:
protected abstract void performApply(ICResourceDescription src,
ICResourceDescription dst);
protected abstract void performDefaults();
protected abstract void updateData(ICResourceDescription cfg);
protected abstract void updateButtons();

If you're using the right resource description you shouldn't need to do
this. The act of changing property pages causes the settings to be
updated from the shared UI project description.

Cheers,

James

thank you very much for your answer, I haven't finished my tab yet, but it
seems to work (my include list updates when I update the include list on
the include tab)!
maybe you can also answer me another question:
since my tab actually does the same as the include tab and a bit more (all
I did was copy the sources and add a button in the button field on the
right which calls a function that automatically fills the include list),
is it possible to set the include tab invisible? And since I don't think
there is, alternatively: is it possible to influence the position of the
newly created tab? Right now it gets inserted after the last cdt tab. It
would be less confusing for the user if it was inserted right after the
include tab.
But well those are just some extra features that would be handy but not
vital for the plugin, the functional part works now and that is the most
important part :-)...
so thank you again!

Have a look at the patch on this bug:

<extension

<tab
class="com.test.cdt.remote.make.IncludeTabLatest"
icon="icons/obj16/hfolder_obj.gif"
name="Includes"
weight="010"
helpId="cdt_u_prop_pns_inc"
parent="org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui.properties.Page_PathAndSymb"
tooltip="testanil"/>
and try to override the "org.eclipse.cdt.ui.newui.IncludeTab" class using "com.test.cdt.remote.make.IncludeTabLatest"; all the functionalites are working but in Paths and Symbol page still i can see IncludeTab of org.eclipse.cdt.ui plug in and newly added IncludeTabLatest both;please find the png file for your reference; i need to show only one Tab of my latest IncludeTab; any idea please suggest me ;
