Hi,
Many thanks for your answer Rich;
So apparently there isn't any method to get back an handle on my JButton ?
But if we look at the properties view, it seems to me that it does a part of it; because when you click on your item, it shows the properties of the item and it can modify the class, call his method, etc ... Do you think we can find something looking at source of the Properties view ?

Hi,
I don't remember the specifics, but
you are not really clicking on a JButton. The JButton instance doesn't
even exist in Eclipse. In the VE the JButton is modeled by a BeanProxy
object that models an actual JButton. I believe what is returned from the
selection event handler is actually an IPropertySource which wrappers the
JButton VE model object.

Hi,
This is me again with Visual Editor.
I am now trying to develop a new view to use it with VE. My view needs
to know witch item is selected on the workbench. For example, if user clic
on a JButton called myButton, I would like to be able to get an handle
on the myButton class (in order to read his attributes for example).
I have tried to follow this tutorial : http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-WorkbenchSelections/article.html
,
I managed to get back something but it is an Object type class whereas
the item I clicked was a JButton. I tried to cast it in the JButton type
but it failed, it seems to me that this is totally an other object ...
Could you please help to find out how to get an handle on this JButton
?
I don't really know if it is a VE problem but perhaps some of you have
tried to do the same someday, I hope.
Thank you very much for your help and looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Nicolas._______________________________________________
