Hi all,

I need to fold a list (jface - ListViewer). I had searched and I came
across org.eclipse.jface.text.source.projection that enables folding a
text. But is there anything similar for listviewers? Is there any other
way to implement this in listviewer?

Thanks,
Prasad

Fold a list in what way? Could you use a TreeViewer and put the things
to be folded into different categories (make a 2 level tree, as it were)?

What I mean by folding a list is I would like to make the contents (the
individual list entries) disappear.

Yes TreeViewer is a good idea. I have a couple of lists that I wish to
fold. I can use a treeviewer to make the list entries child of a list head.

Thanks for the tip.

I am facing a problem accomplishing this using TreeViewer. I have three
different entities , a list and two tables. I would like to make them
collapsible - by this I mean I would like to make their contents
disappear on clicking leaving only the list/table label name. As the
"children" are not homogeneous TreeViewer seems off the list.

How can I accomplish this? In swing there is collapsible pane to achieve
it? Is there anything in eclipse/swt/jface to get this done?

Thanks,
Prasad

See a org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.Twistie which I believe is in
org.eclipse.ui.forms. This can be used to get the Twistie behaviour,
like you see on the Java>Compiler preference pages.
