Editor positions [message #326730]

Hello,

how can I get control over the place where a specific editor is opened?
At special circumstances I want a second editor to open located below
another.
Just like it can be down by using the mouse once a editor is allready open.

Thanks!

There is no API to do that.

If you're interested, there's a internal hack in the test plugin that
shows you how to do it programmatically ... but of course, that's not
guaranteed to work at all (never mind release to release :-)

See
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.ui.test s/Eclipse%20UI%20Tests/org/eclipse/ui/tests/session/Bug95357 Test.java?view=co
as an example where we try and open multiple stacks

Thanks. To sad there is no API available.
Is this the hack you are talking about?
// create the second editor stack using the second editor
DragOperations.drag(current, new EditorDropTarget(new
ExistingWindowProvider(fWin), 0, SWT.BOTTOM), false);

Yes, that looks like it.

You should see if you can find a bugzilla about it; I'd be surprised if
there is not already one, but if not feel free to enter it as a feature
request.

I've searched the bugs bud did not found one that matched it properly.
When searching a link to place a feature request I did not found one :(
Where is this (at least for me) hidden feature request place ? :)
