I am currently making a view which searches for all EObjects matching a certain criteria. This view would search in all opened EMF editors. Is there any programmatic way to retrieve the EMF roots from the editors?
[Edit] I meant the editors like the automatically generated tree view editor from the emf plugin. Given that one editor is open, I would like to get the root EObject from this model tree.
I managed to do it. I added a PartListener2 to my active page and searched for active editors. Then I just added this method.
private void addRoot(IEditorReference editorRef) {
IEditorPart editorPart = editorRef.getEditor(false);
if (editorPart instanceof IEditingDomainProvider) {
IEditingDomainProvider editingDomainProvider = (IEditingDomainProvider) editorPart;
EList<Resource> resourceList = editingDomainProvider.getEditingDomain().getResourceSet().getResources();
for (Resource resource : resourceList) {
for (EObject content : resource.getContents()) {
rootMap.put(content, editorRef);
}
}
}
}

I have registered an action in the EditorPopupMenu (this is right click menu). I also have a bunch of components inside a ToolWindow (that I designed using the GUI Designer plugin) that I want to update the values of.
There have been some posts on the IntelliJ forums about this, and the typical answer seems to advice using the ToolWindow's ContentManager, and obtain the JPanel containing all your components. E.g. the following:
Project p = e.getProject();
ToolWindow toolWindow;
toolWindow = ToolWindowManager.getInstance(p).getToolWindow("My ToolWindow ID");
ContentManager contentManager = toolWindow.getContentManager();
JPanel jp = (JPanel) contentManager.getContent(0).getComponent();
This feels counterintuitive... Having to navigate inside JPanel's to find a bunch of components. What if I decided to put my components inside a different container? Suddenly the way I navigate to my components would break down.
Is it really the most practical way to constrain myself to the way my GUI is built? Can't I access these components in a different way?
I found a way to access my custom myToolWindow. This should help quite some people.
Make sure that your custom MyToolWindow extends the class SimpleToolWindowPanel.
In your custom myToolWindowFactory class, pass your custom MyToolWindow to ContentFactory.createContent() as the first argument. NOT one of the JPanel's inside MyToolWindow as is done in the ToolWindow examples given in the official IntelliJ documentation...
In your MyToolWindow constructor, call the method setContent(<YourJPanelContainingYourComponents>).
I found the answer by experimenting on example 5 from this link:
public JBTabbedTerminalWidget getTerminalWidget(ToolWindow window) {
window.show(null);
if (myTerminalWidget == null) {
JComponent parentPanel = window.getContentManager().getContents()[0].getComponent();
if (parentPanel instanceof SimpleToolWindowPanel) {
SimpleToolWindowPanel panel = (SimpleToolWindowPanel) parentPanel;
JPanel jPanel = (JPanel) panel.getComponents()[0];
myTerminalWidget = (JBTabbedTerminalWidget) jPanel.getComponents()[0];
} else {
NotificationUtils.infoNotification("Wait for Freeline to initialize");
}
}
return myTerminalWidget;
}
I am trying to write an Eclipse plugin where one of the features requires listening for when the user switches to another file in the editor via clicking.
For example, consider the screenshot below.
I want to know how to listen for when the user switching over to FakeClass.java via double-clicking on it in the Project Explorer or clicking on the tab in the editor. Furthermore, I would like to get information about the element that was clicked. Note that I am asking specifically about changing a file through the two means I asked above.
I am a beginner with Plugin development. It would be helpful to explain with that in mind. Thanks.
You can use an IPartListener to listen for changes to parts including a part being activated:
IWorkbenchPage page = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
page.addPartListener(listener);
The partActivated method of the listener is probably what you want:
#Override
public void partActivated(final IWorkbenchPart part)
{
if (part instanceof IEditorPart) {
IEditorPart editor = (IEditorPart)part;
IEditorInput input = editor.getEditorInput();
IFile file = input.getAdapter(IFile.class);
if (file != null) {
// TODO handle file
}
}
}
I don't know of a way to tell why the part was activated.
I have to create a custom wizard to develop a Eclipse Plug-in. I wish to use a DirectoryDialog but I can't get work with the other elements. I'm seeing that the DirectoyDialog is used in a "extends composite" class, but, is there any way to use in a "wizardPage"?
Thanks at all!
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.DirectoryDialog extends Dialog and can only be used as a pop-up dialog. It cannot be embedded in a wizard.
You can put a Button on the wizard page that displays the directory dialog when clicked.
Use the following code in your WizardPage
Button btnBrowse = new Button(container, SWT.NONE);
btnBrowse.setText("Browse..");
btnBrowse.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener() {
#Override
public void handleEvent(Event e) {
DirectoryDialog dirDialog = new DirectoryDialog(getShell());
dirDialog.setText("Select the parent directory for tools");
String location = dirDialog.open();
}
});
getShell() api used in 4th line is from WizardPage class.
The medical company I work for has a EMR system setup to keep digital copies of patient files so they are searchable as well as quick to access. A new request has come through to be able to save e-mail to the EMR system, however it does not display .msg files very nicely. It does display files nicely as .htm, so was hoping i could figure out a way to save email messages to a specific folder in a .htm format with the user just hitting a single button.
Should i be looking at making an add-in using vs 2010 to do this simple task? Or would there be a better way to do this?
I've explored making an Add-In breifly over the past few days using command bars but have hit numerous problems with adding the menu item to mail items, as well as losing event handlers or having them fire quite a few times, so i'm wondering if i'm barking up the wrong tree.
Edit: Looking at ribbon bar customization as well, may have to upgrade some users that are still using 2003, but seems like it might be the better option than command bars going forward.
Ribbon bar was the best path i found, however i had trouble finding a great how-to for the start-to-finish project, so i'll make a small write up here.
To add a button to the ribbon for only existing mail messages including a image for the button.
Using VS 2010
New project, Office, select "Outlook 2007 add in", enter a name for your project.
To your newly created project, Add a new item "Ribbon (XML)" name it however you want, i'll call it CustomRibbon
open your newly created CustomRibbon.xml file and change the tab node to have the following
<tab idMso="TabReadMessage">
<group insertBeforeMso="GroupActions" id="CustomGroup" label="GroupNameThatShowsInOutlook">
<button id="btnCustomButton"
label = "Text For The Custom Button"
supertip="tip for the button hover"
onAction ="ButtonClicked"
size="large"
getImage="GetCustomButtonImage" />
</group>
</tab>
This then has 2 callback functions to the CustomRibbon.cs file, one called GetCustomButtonImage, the other ButtonClicked.
open CustomRibbon.cs to fill this in, in the Ribbon Callbacks region add the following
public void ButtonClicked(Office.IRibbonControl Control)
{
//Do work here
}
also add the following in the same section
public stdole.IPictureDisp GetCustomButtonImage(Office.IRibbonControl control)
{
System.Drawing.Image myImage;
myImage = OutlookAddIn.Properties.Resources.ImageName;
return AxHostConverter.ImageToPictureDisp(myImage);
}
this will then show there is a class missing, we'll get to that shortly, but first we are going to add in the last part we need in CustomRibbon.cs. In the IRibbonExtensibility Members region, in GetCustomUI change the existing code
public string GetCustomUI(string ribbonID)
{
if (ribbonID == "Microsoft.Outlook.Mail.Read")
{
return GetResourceText("OutlookAddIn.CustomRibbon.xml");
}
else
{
return "";
}
}
Add a new class to your project call it AxHostConverter, add add this to the top
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;
Then change the class to have the following code
class AxHostConverter : AxHost
{
private AxHostConverter() : base("") { }
static public stdole.IPictureDisp ImageToPictureDisp(Image image)
{
return (stdole.IPictureDisp)GetIPictureDispFromPicture(image);
}
static public Image PictureDispToImage(stdole.IPictureDisp pictureDisp)
{
return GetPictureFromIPicture(pictureDisp);
}
}
Add your image for your button to the project, and change the GetCustomButtonImage function to use that resource. I used a PNG and had good luck with transparencies displaying well.
And finally, all that should be left is to add the following to ThisAddIn.cs
protected override Microsoft.Office.Core.IRibbonExtensibility CreateRibbonExtensibilityObject()
{
return new CustomRibbon();
}
Add whatever code you are wanting to ButtonClicked and you are set.
Deploy using Clickonce and installation is fairly straightforward.
I have to create a SharePoint 2010 ribbon element (tabs, buttons, groups, etc.). Is there a way to create such elements via the SharePoint API without using custom actions?
Edit:
I've just found the possibilty to add elements like this (link):
SPRibbon r = SPRibbon.GetCurrent(Page);
r.RegisterDataExtension(/* XmlNode containing ribbon element code */);
Another workaround would be to append a custom web control and append dynamic controls to this "placeholder".
Is there a way to create elements without using xml nodes?
For layouts pages and webparts, you can create Ribbon without any XML, using Ribbon Utils for SharePoint 2010.
For example, for layouts page, you will need to inherit from RibbonUtils.RibbonLayoutsPage and provide your definition of a ribbon.
Code for the most simple page with custom ribbon tab & one button on it will look like this:
public partial class MyRibbonPage : RibbonLayoutsPage
{
public override TabDefinition GetTabDefinition()
{
return new TabDefinition()
{
Id = "TestRibbon",
Title = "Test",
Groups = new GroupDefinition[]
{
new GroupDefinition()
{
Id = "TestGroup",
Title = "Test group",
Template = GroupTemplateLibrary.SimpleTemplate,
Controls = new ControlDefinition[]
{
new ButtonDefinition()
{
Id = "TestButton",
Title = "Test button",
CommandJavaScript = "alert('test!');",
Image32Url = "/_layouts/images/lg_ICHLP.gif",
}
}
}
}
};
}
}
You will find more examples and very good documentation on the project page on CodePlex.
AFAIK, it is for now most simple and quick way to create ribbon programmatically for application pages & webparts.
