a command and put it on the stack.
Everything is working fine, but I want to have the Eclipse menu
Edit->Undo to be activated when the view is the active part. Currently,
the only way to get the undo to activate once a change has been made is
to make the editor active and then I see the "Undo my model change"
activate in the edit menu of the workbench.
How can I tie the activation of undo and redo in the edit menu when
another view is active to the GEF actions/command stack?
TIA,
Phil

It sounds like you aren't hooking the global undo action from your view. It
is the same as for editorparts.

Once again, thanks. And while it is related it was really two separate
issues. The other post is how to get a custom action to enable and
disable based on the state of the editor. This is how to tie a view to
the undo/redo actions.

ok, next question, how do I get a handle to the action registry to hook
into the undo, redo commands. This is what I thought I needed to add to
my view's init() method:
ActionRegistry registry = viewSite.getActionRegistry();
IActionBars bars = viewSite.getActionBars();
String id = IWorkbenchActionConstants.UNDO;
bars.setGlobalActionHandler(id, registry.getAction(id));
id = IWorkbenchActionConstants.REDO;
bars.setGlobalActionHandler(id, registry.getAction(id));
but a IViewSite does not have an action registry as a page site does.
Thanks again,
Phil

I have and still don't see how I can get the actionRegistry from the
editor to get the undo/redo commands to add to the action bars on the
view. getActionRegistry() is protected on the GraphicalEditor class.
This is gotten around in the context menu of the Logic example by simply
passing the action registry into the constructor for the context menu,
but since this is in a view that could be launch by a user showing it, I
won't have a handle to the editor at the time the view is created and
therefore, can not get its action registry to grab to the UNDO/REDO
commands and put them in the view's action bars.
Or am I missing the nose that is on my face?
Thanks again,
Phil

RetargetAction and put a *conditional breakpoint* in setActionHandler. Make

Thanks for the pointer. I am implementing a PageBookView and I tracked
the problem down to not calling the init() method on my Page in the
doCreatePage() of the view.
Thanks to all for the help.

ok, next question, how do I get a handle to the action registry to
hook into the undo, redo commands. This is what I thought I
needed to add to my view's init() method:
ActionRegistry registry = viewSite.getActionRegistry();
IActionBars bars = viewSite.getActionBars();
String id = IWorkbenchActionConstants.UNDO;
bars.setGlobalActionHandler(id, registry.getAction(id));
id = IWorkbenchActionConstants.REDO;
bars.setGlobalActionHandler(id, registry.getAction(id));
but a IViewSite does not have an action registry as a page site
does.
Thanks again,

It sounds like you aren't hooking the global undo action from your
view. It
is the same as for editorparts.
