Hello,

I have a question about how to use the Memory View in Eclipse
programmatically.
I want to read/display memory for a given address using the Memory View.

So far I have been following the advice given in the Bugzilla Bug 87374:
>To programatically open the memory

If my IMemoryBlock implementation is correctly implemented and I have added
it with
DebugPlugin.getDefault().getMemoryBlockManager().addMemoryBl ocks(),
wouldn't that be enough to render it with the default "raw" memory renderer?

I could not get this to work, so I tried adding a memory renderer to a
memory rendering container,
but I can not get hold of a non-null container. What default memory
rendering containers are available?

My code so far looks like this (the container = null):


IWorkbenchPage page =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage();
if (page != null)
{
try
{
IViewPart view =
page.showView("org.eclipse.debug.ui.MemoryView");

IMemoryRenderingSite memoryView = (IMemoryRenderingSite) view;
MemoryBlockExtentsion mbe = new MemoryBlockExtentsion(new
DummyDebugTarget(), 0);
DebugPlugin.getDefault().getMemoryBlockManager().
addMemoryBlocks(new IMemoryBlock[] {mbe});

IMemoryRenderingType renderingType =
DebugUITools.getMemoryRenderingManager().
getRenderingType("org.eclipse.debug.ui.rendering.raw_memory ");
IMemoryRendering rendering = renderingType.createRendering();

IMemoryRenderingContainer container = memoryView.getContainer(
DebugUIPlugin.getUniqueIdentifier() +
".MemoryView.RenderingViewPane.1");
container.addMemoryRendering(rendering); // <-------------
null!!!
}
catch ...


In summary, what are the minimal steps required in order to display a block
of memory in the Memory View?
