Hi all,
I'm trying to create a simple Find/Replace dialog by reusing the standard
Ctrl+F dialog. I have a SourceViewer and I'm catching the Ctrl+F now. I
call doFindReplace(), below. I've tried to create an action, like this:
protected void doFindReplace() {
ActionFactory.FIND.create( getActiveWorkbenchWindow());
FindReplaceAction fandrAction = new FindReplaceAction(getPRB(),
"Editor.FindReplace.", getActiveWorkbenchPart());
fandrAction.runWithEvent(new Event());
// fandrAction.run();
}
None of that code works - nothing ever pops up. What am I doing wrong?
FWIW, getPRB() returns an empty resource bundle. Do I need to instantiate
the FindReplaceDialog class myself? Do I need to subclass
FindReplaceAction, overriding run() myself? I just want a simple
find/replace dialog to pop up, targeted at my editor (from which I pressed
Ctrl+F).
I cannot find any examples, though. I'm targeting v3.2 in case the API
has changed in the last year or so.
Thanks in advance!
Bret

Make sure your active workbench part provides an IFindReplaceTarget adapter.

Thanks for the reply, Dani. I'm confused, though, since my SourceViewer
is a TextViewer, which appears to have all the right methods required of a
IFindReplaceTarget, although it doesn't say it implements that interface
on this page:
http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/index.html
If I try to implement IFindReplaceTarget in my subclassed SourceViewer I
get a message that TextViewer.findAndSelect(...) cannot hide the public
abstract method in IFindReplaceTarget. I can do this:
fSourceViewer.getFindReplaceTarget(), but I cannot pass that to the
FindReplaceAction constructor, which wants a WorkbenchPart, not a
FindReplaceTarget.
Ideas?
Thanks again,
Bret

Sure. You can't just go and grab a single JAR from one version and put
it into the other one.
