Non-undoable document edits [message #336253] Wed, 03 June 2009 13:14 Go to next message

Hello,

I have a RCP app which uses a customised TextEditor for editing
certain types of files. For some calls I make to Document.replace() I
would like to make this text replacement non-undoable.

I have tried using an extension of AbstractOperation to execute my
non-undoable text replacement within the document and then made the
AbstractOperation return false for canUndo(), but I can still right
click within the TextEditor and select "Undo Typing" which undoes my
text replacement which is not what I want.

So is there a way for me to call Document.replace() to replace text
which can not be undone via the global undo/redo mechanism?

thanks,

John.

Try to get the document undo manager via:
org.eclipse.text.undo.DocumentUndoManagerRegistry.getDocumen tUndoManager(IDocument)
and then call reset() on it.
