e4 programmatic part show/hide [message #1398882]

I'm having difficulty getting programmatic show/hide to work for parts within an MPartStack. I've created a simple e4 application project (github.com/hibouhome/rcp-spikes/tree/master/com.hibouhome.rcp.spikes.partvisibility) containing three parts within a single partstack. I have a Combo ToolControl that selects the part to display. Showing a part is done via the following method:

private void showPart(final String id) {
	final MPartStack partstack = (MPartStack) modelService.find("simplepartstack", application);
	final MPart part = partService.showPart(id, PartState.ACTIVATE);
	part.setVisible(true);
	partstack.setSelectedElement(part);
}

This only works insofar as the part's tab is display. The content of the tab is not rendered, neither is the part's tab selected. If I click the part's tab it's then rendered as expected - however, this only works when I include 'part.setVisible(true);' which I wouldn't have thought was necessary seeing as I've already called 'partService.showPart(id, PartState.ACTIVATE);'.

Within Application.e4xmi each part has 'to be rendered' = true, 'visible' = false

I've tried tried debugging the code to see what the problem is but haven't made any progress. Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated.

EPartService#showPart and hidePart may be what you need. You can have your EPartService injected.

Thanks for the reply. I managed to get it working as follows:

private void showPart(final String id) {
	final MPartStack partstack = (MPartStack) modelService.find("simplepartstack", application);
	final MPart part = partService.findPart(id);
	part.setVisible(true);
	partstack.setSelectedElement(part);
}

I was trying showPart() because of the lazy rendering. However, simply selecting the part in the stack seems to trigger this so problem solved. Thanks!
