Using IHandlerService in modal dialog [message #326343]

Hi,
I've used the following code in tabbed editor ()

IWorkbenchPartSite site =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActivePage().getActivePart().ge tSite();
IHandlerService handlerService = (IHandlerService)
site.getService(IHandlerService.class);

to register my actions via:
IHandlerActivation activation = handlerService.activateHandler(
myAction.getActionDefinitionId(),
new ActionHandler(myAction)
);
and it works.

Now I want to do the same but for currently opened modal dialog window.
Which object should I use to register? What object will give me getService()
method?
Or is there any other approach?

In 3.4 we were looking at support for creating your own site
(IServiceLocatorCreator) but it doesn't look like it's ready for prime time.

For a dialog, you would have to use:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService(IHandlerService.class); This is
the global handler service.

You can activate your handler using this service, but you will have to
deactivate it yourself as your dialog closes.
