| RE: [cdt-dev] MBS (IManagedOptionValueHandler) questions |

Hi Derek, Please see my answers embedded below. Mikhail -----Original Message----- Hi, Note: I think you're going to hate this as I'm using this extension in
a way that wasn't planned... In the plugin.xml have added an additional field to a compilers
optionCategory, like this: <option name='Paste area' category='compiler.exe.debug' id='paste' valueType='string' valueHandler='OptionValueHandler' valueHandlerExtraArgument="paste" ></option> I am using the OptionValueHandler to allow a user to paste tool options
into a field which is then parsed to set the tool options in the properties
GUI. This means I can copy and paste options between configurations and correctly
set the properties GUI to match. This is working. The first question is that I would like to add this field to the main
compiler page (under 'expert settings'), rather than one of the sub-pages. Is
there a way to do this? [Mikhail] It is not possible to extend/contribute to the main compiler
page currently. The second question is that after I have parsed the options, I wish to
clear the entry field in the GUI. I am able to clear the value using (option.setValue("")), but this is not reflected in the GUI
until I switch from the page and switch back again. Is there a way to get the entry field
to be refreshed? [Mikhail] The MBS functionality does not have the change notification
mechanism currently. That is why MBS GUI has to refresh contents of each page to
ensure that proper “live” values are displayed. Currently the
refresh is performed in the following situations: 1.
the page/tab
becomes visible 2.
the value of some
UI property of the page gets changed If you need some more flexible mechanism of UI contents update we might
consider changing/enhancing the current MBS UI refresh mechanism. Regards, Mikhail TIA -- Derek _______________________________________________ cdt-dev mailing list cdt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cdt-dev |
