RE: [cdt-dev] Accessing CommonNavigator for CDT projects

["Leherbauer, Anton" <Anton.Leherbauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bala,

 

the question is, what you want to achieve.

Do you really need the UI Tree of the projects, or rather the ICProject objects of the CModel?

The main entry point for this would be CoreModel.getDefault().getCModel().

 

If you indeed want to access the UI Tree control through the Common Navigator in the way you described, then you must make sure that the Project Explorer (an instance of CommonNavigator) is the active view part.

 

HTH,

Toni

Subject: [cdt-dev] Accessing CommonNavigator for CDT projects

Hi,

I would like to get all the CDT Projects (Tree) from workspace. I could access this through CView using the following code.

                IWorkbenchPage page = CUIPlugin.getActivePage();
                if (page != null) {
                        IWorkbenchPart part = page.showView(CUIPlugin.CVIEW_ID);
                       
                        if (part instanceof CView) {
                                CView cview = (CView) part;
                                TreeItem[] items = cview.getViewer.getTree().getItems();
                                for (int i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
                                        //Do something
                                }
                        }
                }

However CView is part of CDT UI internal classes. So I am thinking of accessing the projects tree thrugh public API. I understood that Bug 140337 implements the CDT content extensions for the Project Explorer based on the Common Navigator Framework.
I think I can use the common navigator API to access the projects tree. So can somebody help me in accessing the CDT project explorer or common navigator through public API.

I have tried the following piece of code to access Common Navigator instead of the above code. But the partView always returning an instance of CView instead of CommonNavigator. So again I am having same problem of accessing internal CDT classes.

                        IWorkbenchWindow ww= PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
                        if (ww != null) {
                                IWorkbenchPage activePage = ww.getActivePage();
                                if (activePage != null) {
                                        IWorkbenchPartReference partRef = activePage.getActivePartReference();
                                        if (partRef != null) {
                                                IWorkbenchPart part= partRef.getPart(false);
                                                if (part instanceof CommonNavigator) {  <==== part always returns an instance of CView in the above case
                                                        //use CN to access the projects tree.
                                                }
                                        }
                                }
                        }


Please let me know, if there is another way of accessing CommonNavigator(CN) for CDT extensions. Or a better of getting the project tree (not through CN).

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
-Bala
