Re: [cdt-dev] MBS (IManagedOptionValueHandler) questions 
Hi Mikhail,
I have written an IManagedOptionValueHandler. I have added a new optionCategory and options to that OptionCategory that uses the valueHandler and valueHandlerExtraArgument extension. I have added boolean and string options. 

IManagedOptionValueHandler gets passed IOptionHolder and IOption.
From within the valuehandler I am using IOption.setValue(). Using these interfaces I am almost getting the behaviour I want... If it setValue() on the boolean option, the corresponding checkbox in the GUI is updated. However, if I setValue() on the string, the corresponding textbox in the GUI is not updated until I interact with the GUI in some way (check the booleans checkbox, for example).
I have no docs for ManagedBuildManager so I don't know when/how to use it. As I am passed an IOption (and it is working - mostly - for me) I am using that.

Hi Derek,

I did not fully understand how are you using the value handler
mechanism. Could you elaborate a bit more on this (i.e. where are you
calling the setValue from) so that I could understand your issue.
BTW, you should not call the IOption.setValue directly. You should use
the ManagedBuildManager.setOption() instead.

Mikhail

Mikhail,

When I use option.setValue(boolean), then the UI checkbox is updated
However, when I option.setvalue(string), the the UI textbox is NOT
updated, until I do something else in the UI (for example setting a checkbox). Is 
this I bug?

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
