activeWhen and enabledWhen problem [message #334167]

Hi,

[XML]
<activeWhen>
<with
variable="activePartId">
<equals
value="com.seq.view.DatabaseManagerView">
</equals>
</with>
</activeWhen>
<enabledWhen>
<with
variable="myVariable">
<equals
value="true">
</equals>
</with>
</enabledWhen>
[XML]

when the 'myVariable' is false and when i click on the DatabaseManagerView ,
the command is inactive - which is right. But when i click on a different
view say Package Explorer the command gets enabled ( the toolbar icon gets
enabled ). Isnt that supposed to remain inactive because the active part is
changed and doesnot meet the activeWhen condition.

You might be having another handler which is active in other view. Did you
define a default handler for that command?
