Hi,
How do I programmatically display an Eclipse form? Not programmatically
create one - there are already some good articles for that in the web.
But how do I get one to display programmatically, ie, not declaratively?
Concretely, I have programmed a wizard which imports data into my app.
Works fine. Additionally, I would like to display a non-editable Eclipse
form which reports some stats on the completed import action. I imagine
I would launch this form, like the import code, in the performFinish()
method of my wizard.
How do I do that?
Thanks,y

Hi Yo,
your form should be inside an Eclipse view, i.e. your form's class
extends ViewPart. So, try to show the Eclipse view by calling:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().showView(viewId);
The viewId argument is the id of the view you defined in the
plugin.xml-file.
Regards,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,
getActiveWorkbenchWindow() returns null.
Is this because my app is a RCP?
Is there an alternative to getActiveWorkbenchWindow() ?
Thanks for helping this noob!

Hi,
I now get a non-null workbench window and display the form. Yay.
However, the form appears in the bottom window (ie, where "Errors",
"Problems" typically appear).
I would like the form to appear in the editor window, although the form
is not editable. This possible?
Fyi, below is the code I used to obtain the active window.
Thanks,yo
IWorkbenchWindow win =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
if (win == null) {
win = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getWorkbenchWindows()[0];
}

Hi,
you can define in plugin.xml where your view appears. To achieve this,
you have to create a PerspectiveExtension, i.e. open your plugin.xml, go
to the Extensions tab, choose "Add..." and select
"org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions" if you do not already have this
extension in your list. The targetId is the id of the perspective which
you want to extent with your view. You can choose "*" if this shall not
be restricted to one perspective. You can also use the browse-button to
get a list of available perspectives.
From the context menu of the perspective extension choose "Add..." ->
"view". The id is the id of your view (as above you can use the
browse-button). Choose "stack" als relationship. Choose
"org.eclipse.ui.editorss" als relative. This should place your view in
the editor area.
You can also take a look in this great tutorial:
http://www.vogella.de/articles/RichClientPlatform/article.ht ml#views
In section 7.3 is described, what I tried to explain.
Good luck!
Regards,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,
I really appreciate your help.
I did as you suggested but was not quite there yet. Then I added the
following to my perspective factory and things worked:
public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
// ...
// import results
layout.addPlaceholder(MY_VIEWID,
IPageLayout.TOP,
0.60f,
IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA);
// ...
}
Thanks very, very much!
