Hi Derek, Please see my response embedded below. Mikhail -----Original Message----- 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). [Mikhail] This seems like a bug. Try using the ManagedBuildManager API
instead of IOption (see my comment below) and if this does not help please
raise a bug. 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. [Mikhail] The org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.ManagedBuildManager is
the entry-point for all MBS core operations. It should be used for setting
option values as well. You should not call IOption.setValue because it will not
work for the case of extension options (i.e. options whose values are not overridden
by user settings). The ManagedBuildManager contains the following methods that should be
used for option value modifications (see JavaDoc comments for those methods for
more detail): public static IOption setOption(IConfiguration config, IHoldsOptions holder,
IOption option, boolean value) public static IOption
setOption(IResourceConfiguration resConfig, IHoldsOptions holder, IOption
option, boolean value) public static IOption setOption(IConfiguration config, IHoldsOptions holder,
IOption option, String value) public static IOption
setOption(IResourceConfiguration resConfig, IHoldsOptions holder, IOption
option, String value) public static IOption setOption(IConfiguration config, IHoldsOptions holder,
IOption option, String[] value) public static IOption setOption(IResourceConfiguration
resConfig, IHoldsOptions holder, IOption option, String[] value) The “IBuildObject configuration” argument passed to your
value handler is either an IConfiguration or an IResourceConfiguration. You
should do instanceof and call the proper ManagedBuildManager.setOption()
method. Please let me know if you have any questions with using the
ManagedBuildManager.setOption() Regards, Mikhail -- Derek Sennikovsky, Mikhail wrote: > 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
