disable menu bar [message #61296] Tue, 03 June 2003 19:10 Go to next message

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to disable the menu bar in the eclipse
application itself. I have found a way to remove the tool bar (thanks to
Don Estberg’s post Apr 29 2003 18:40:46 in eclipse.tools) using
org.eclipse.ui.workbench/SHOW_TOOL_BAR=false. But I couldn’t find a
similar property for the menu bar.

Also, is there a way to “lock” the perspective, i.e. prevent the user from
opening/closing views?

Thank you in advance

Bella

There is no support to disable the menu bar. There is also no support for
locking the perspective.

Maybe you could provide more information about what you are trying to do.
Are you building a plugin that will run in Eclipse? Or are you simply using
part of Eclipse to write some standalone application

I wanted to use Eclipse's editor, and so I am launching Eclipse from my
swing based application. But, for example, the navigator view will
conflict with the tree I have in my application. I have figured out a way
to have the initial perspective display only the editor. But I would like
to prevent the user from accidentally (or purposefully) opening other
views, like the navigator.

Any suggestions will be appreciated

Beside "hacking" the eclipse code, there is nothing else I can think of. You
may want to keep an eye on the work for the rich client platform.
