Hi Paul,
Thanks for your help again! I was just about to drop in here to post that
its working now. I used perspectiveExtensions extension point and tied the
views and actionSet to my perspective. For some reason in case of
ationSetPartAssociation, I felt it was not working since my action set
became visible only when one of the associated views "was in focus" and not
just activated and visible. In case of perspectiveExtensions I do not need
to wait for the "in focus" aspect and the actionSet is visible exactly when
I want!! :-) So its moving on track as of now!
Thanks a lot Paul! However, there is one more issue related to the
enablement/disablement of actionSet. The actionSet that I have defined
defines an action similar to "Save" and I want this action to be initially
disabled (I managed to do that by action.setDisabled(true) in the
selectionChanged method of the action which is called after constructor).
And when certain conditions are true, I want to enable this "save" like
button. As of now I am doing it by accessing the action via
ActiveWorkbenchWindow >> CoolbarManager >> myActionSetContribution
(ToolBarContributionItem) >> ToolbarManager >> ActionContribution >>
getAction >> setEnabled (true);
This is pretty much a hack through the internal code and doesn't look neat.
Could you suggest me something better or a cleaner simpler way to do things?
Thanks,
Rahul
