I would like to add a flush-left (ragged-right) item in a toolbar of my Eclipse E4 application.
Toolbar items in Eclipse are ragged-left by default, so this is what I would like to achieve:
toolbar
+------------------------------------------------+
| I1 | | I2 | I3 | ... | IN |
+------------------------------------------------+
<-------------------->
spacer?
Item I1 would be flush-left thanks to the effect of the spacer control in between I1 and I2 (if I got the meaning of a spacer in the first place).
I know that a stretch-tagged ToolControl in between items of a trimbar will work as a spacer; but that does not work on toolbars.
I also tried to add toolbar elements as extension points in the plugin.xml following the instructions I read from this answer. I am not sure whether this is simply not E4-compatible or if I made some mistake.
Ideas?
Likely a duplicate of How do I add a spacer to an Eclipse RCP toolbar?
Just add a ToolControl to the Toolbar and use a class like this for the control:
public class SpacerControl
{
public SpacerControl()
{
super();
}
#PostConstruct
public void postConstruct(final Composite parent)
{
new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE)
.setLayout(new FillLayout());
}
}

In one of my eclipse e4 application JMSToolBox, some data is displayed in aTableViewer
A contextual menu is defined in the e4 model file (e4xmi) and linked to theTableViewer like this
menuService.registerContextMenu(tableViwere.getTable(), <name of the e4 part menu>);
Attached to the contextual menu in the e4 model, a "menu item" is linked to a"Dynamic Menu Contribution" class that dynamically add the menu items to the menu:
public class VisualizerShowPayloadAsMenu {
#Inject private EModelService modelService;
#AboutToShow
public void aboutToShow(EModelService modelService, List<MMenuElement> items) {
// Not the real code..., illustrate adding a dynamic menu item to the contextual menu
MDirectMenuItem dynamicItem = modelService.createModelElement(MDirectMenuItem.class);
dynamicItem.setLabel(<name..>);
dynamicItem.setContributorURI(Constants.BASE_CORE_PLUGIN);// "platform:/plugin/org.titou10.jtb.core");
dynamicItem.setContributionURI(Constants.VISUALIZER_MENU_URI);// "bundleclass://org.titou10.jtb.core/org.titou10.jtb.visualizer.ui.VisualizerShowPayloadAsHandler");
items.add(dynamicItem);
}
Now, what I want to do is to capture the data in the underlying cell where the contextual menu has been activated, and get that value back in the method annotated by"#AboutToShow" in order
to addMDirectMenuItementries to the contextual menu with a label containing that value
Q: how to do that with eclipse rcp e4?
In the attached picture, the right click happened in the cell with content="ID:414d5120514d41414544202020202020ee4bb25612666920". I would like to get this value back in the #AboutToShowmethod and add menu items to the"Open Payload as..."menu based on that value
Thanks
I found a way to do it!
I'm not sure it is the best way, but at least it works and it is quite simple
The following code is here to illustrate the idea, it is not valid Java.
In the part that manage theTableViewer:
TableViewer tableViewer = new TableViewer(composite, SWT.BORDER | SWT.FULL_SELECTION | SWT.MULTI);
{...}
new TableViewerFocusCellManager(tableViewer, new JTBFocusCellHighlighter(tableViewer, windowContext));
JTBFocusCellHighlighterclass:
public class JTBFocusCellHighlighter extends FocusCellHighlighter {
private IEclipseContext windowContext;
private Table table;
public JTBFocusCellHighlighter(ColumnViewer viewer, IEclipseContext windowContext) {
super(viewer);
this.windowContext = windowContext;
this.table = ((TableViewer) viewer).getTable();
}
#Override
protected void focusCellChanged(ViewerCell newCell, ViewerCell oldCell) {
super.focusCellChanged(newCell, oldCell);
// Capture the content of the cell (or other info..) and store it in Eclipse Context
windowContext.set("key", newCell.getText());
TableColumn tableColumn = table.getColumn(newCell.getColumnIndex());
}
}
Real code implementation: JTBSessionContentViewPart , JTBFocusCellHighlighter and FilterMenu
I want to remove the File, edit, Source, Refactor, etc. menus from my RCP application
Can I use hideActionSet() ? or what should I do ?
That's right; in your ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor, override postWindowOpen().
The tricky bit is usually figuring out the names of the actionsets that you want to remove, but you can use the old standby ALT-SHIFT-F2 (the default keybinding for 'Plugin-in Menu Spy') and click on one of the menu items that you want to remove.
Note that if the menu item is disabled, the spy won't give you any info on it.
public void postWindowOpen() {
runApplicationWorkbenchDelegate();
// remove unwanted UI contributions that eclipse makes by default
IWorkbenchWindow[] windows = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getWorkbenchWindows();
for (int i = 0; i < windows.length; ++i) {
IWorkbenchPage page = windows[i].getActivePage();
if (page != null) {
// hide generic 'File' commands
page.hideActionSet("org.eclipse.ui.actionSet.openFiles");
// hide 'Convert Line Delimiters To...'
page.hideActionSet("org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.convertLineDelimitersTo");
// hide 'Search' commands
page.hideActionSet("org.eclipse.search.searchActionSet");
// hide 'Annotation' commands
page.hideActionSet("org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.annotationNavigation");
// hide 'Forward/Back' type navigation commands
page.hideActionSet("org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.navigation");
}
}
}
Although the question is old:
Lars Vogel's tutorial about Eclipse Activities shows how to hide entire menus in an RCP application rather than removing single menu-entries.
EDIT:
Alternatively you can use the MenuManager attached to the workbench window to show or hide Menus/Contributions.
Try the following code to hide all menus:
WorkbenchWindow workbenchWin = (WorkbenchWindow)PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
MenuManager menuManager = workbenchWin.getMenuManager();
IContributionItem[] items = menuManager.getItems();
for(IContributionItem item : items) {
item.setVisible(false);
}
I want to disable the button maximize/minimize, below I post image to explain
this is my code :
public class ProjectWizardPageOne extends WizardPage {
private String platform;
public ProjectWizardPageOne(String title) {
super(title);
this.setTitle(title);
this.setMessage("Configure Project Name and Location");
}
#Override
public void createControl(Composite parent) {
Composite container = new Composite(parent,SWT.NONE);
setPageComplete(false);
setControl(container);
Canvas leftPanel = new Canvas(container, SWT.NONE);
leftPanel.setBackgroundImage(new Image(leftPanel.getDisplay(), this
.getClass().getClassLoader()
.getResourceAsStream("/icons/mypicture.png")));
leftPanel.setBounds(0, 0, 183, 282);
Composite rightContainer = new Composite(container, SWT.NONE);
rightContainer.setBackground(new Color(null, 255, 255, 255));
rightContainer.setBounds(181, 0, 399, 282);
}
public String getPlatform() {
return platform;
}
public void setPlatform(String platform) {
this.platform = platform;
}
}
I tried to get the Composite's Shell like this "container.getShell();"
but I don't understand How I can set these parameters "SWT.SHELL_TRIM | SWT.TOOL"!
Thanks
Controlling the Window/Shell is not the responsibility of a WizardPage, it can not do that. It's the responsibility of the WizardDialog or the code that creates it. In fact, there is no guarantee that a Wizard and its WizardPages will even be contained in a WizardDialog; anything can implement the IWizardContainer interface to present wizards in a different way.
Is it a File -> New wizard or a custom wizard that is programatically launched. If it is custom, you would have to create WizardDialog and then pass Wizard instance to it. When creating WizardDialog, you would also create Shell, for which you can send the argument without SWT.RESIZE. For File -> New, since the dialog is not created by you, I dont think you can control resize option there. The resize can only be passed in the constructor of Shell.
In case of dialogs, I have observed that I need to explicitly specify that I need min, max buttons at upper-right corner. For that I need to call the below method in a constructor:
setShellStyle(getShellStyle() | SWT.MAX | SWT.MIN | SWT.RESIZE);
Since Wizard is also a dialog, I can call the above method to reset the shellStyle not to include max, min, and other buttons (see above code). The wizard by default might be adding these buttons. But I think you can override this by recalling at the end of wizard creation. Hope this helps.
public class InstallerWizard extends Wizard{
...
main()
{
WizardDialog dialog = new DisableMax(shell, new InstallerWizard());
dialog.open();
}
}
public class DisableMax extends WizardDialog {
public DisableMax(Shell parentShell, IWizard newWizard) {
super(parentShell, newWizard);
setShellStyle(SWT.CLOSE | SWT.MIN | SWT.RESIZE | getDefaultOrientation());
}
}
I'm developing Eclipse plugin that has a treeview with toolbar and buttons. I'd want to make the plugin work so that it would show the treeview as default but in case of some error there would be some text and button to initialize or update the plugin. The plugin view should change dynamically depending on the state of the plugin between the treeview and the "error view".
For now I'm creating the treeview instance and doing the other needed actions in createPartControl method to show the treeview right. How should I implement the dynamic view showing different kind of content in the plugin view? Is that possible at all?
Code of the createPartControlMethod:
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
viewer = new TreeViewer(parent, SWT.MULTI | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL);
drillDownAdapter = new DrillDownAdapter(viewer);
viewContentProvider = new ViewContentProvider();
viewer.setContentProvider(viewContentProvider);
viewer.setLabelProvider(new ViewLabelProvider());
viewer.setSorter(new NameSorter());
viewer.setInput(getViewSite());
viewer.expandToLevel(2);
// Create the help context id for the viewer's control
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getHelpSystem().setHelp(viewer.getControl(), "my.plugin.viewer");
makeActions();
hookContextMenu();
hookDoubleClickAction();
contributeToActionBars();
setToolBarButtonsEnabled();
Simplest way would be to create a Composite with a StackLayout and two children instead:
private Composite container;
private TreeViewer viewer;
private Composite errorComposite;
private StackLayout layout;
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
container = new Composite(parent);
layout = new StackLayout();
viewer = new TreeViewer(container, SWT.MULTI | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL);
... // setup viewer
errorComposite = new Composite(container, SWT.NONE);
... // setup error view
}
I do have a problem with IToolbarManager. I have added a combo & spinner ot toolbar of a view like this
IToolbarManager mgr = getViewSite().getActionBars().getToolBarManager();
mgr.add(spinnerCntrAction);
spinnerCntrAction = new ControContribution(){
public Control createControl(){
//Creates composite
//Create a spinner and add that to composite
//return composite
}
};
In windows XP/Vista themes this spinner is shown correctly. But when program is run under windows classic theme , the spinner is shrinked and not shown correctly.
Is this a known problem ? Do you know any workaround/patch for this ?
Thanks

This is a bug in SWT. See http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.swt/msg44671.html
Here is a workaround:
mgr.add(new DummyAction());
private static class DummyAction extends Action {
DummyAction() {
setEnabled(false);
setText(" ");
}
}
...
mgr.add(spinnerCntrAction);
This will cause the toolbar manager to make all control contributions the same size as the Action, so adjust the number of spaces in the Action text to get the desired result.
