Hi all.

Within eclipse itself, all the views and editors are displayed in tabs
that appear as curved. But in the RCP application that I create, the
views/editors appear in normal rectangular tabs. How do I use the curved
tabs in my RCP app?

Hi!

I have not tried myself yet, but you can have curved tabs by simply
calling "setSimple(false)" on the "TabFolder" object. Also try
"setBorderVisible(false)".

Best regards,

The technique you mention below can very well be used to customize the
appearance of a tabfolder/CTabFoler that has been placed inside a view
or editor. What I am looking for is the curvy tabs Eclipse displays for
each editor and view.

My hunch is that I will be able to achieve this by using the setProperty
of IFolderLayout in Perspective.java's createInitialLayout method. But I
am not able to get it work as I have no idea regarding teh property ID
and value to set.

Hi!

That one is easy!
In your custom WorkbenchAdvisor class override the "initialize" method!

Code snippet:
@Override
public void initialize(IWorkbenchConfigurer configurer) {

super.initialize(configurer);
PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setValue(

IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.SHOW_TRADITIONAL_STYLE_TABS, false);

}

For me it worked this way!

Best regards,
Matthias
