Eclipse Plugin: Adding handlers programmatically vs. added via extension framework - eclipse-plugin

I have in my Eclipse plugin some programmatically defined handlers (for instance cut/copy/paste) and some other editor related actions that are defined via the extension framework.
If I close the view of my plugin and reopen it the handlers defined via extension framework seems to break and when executed seems to use disposed gui elements. The programmatically one are readded in the createViewPart() Method and keep working.
I don't get how to reload the handlers defined via extension framework?

In handlers added through the extension framework, they are expected to get what then need to operate from the ExecutionEvent that's provided in the execute(*) method. org.eclipse.ui.handlers.HandlerUtil can extract most of the workbench related information for you.
Saving state in your handler between calls is not guaranteed to work, as the framework can dispose and recreate the handler as it needs to.

How to know if a value was injected or updated in Eclipse RCP 4?

I need to track an object was injected/updated in the context. The object was created in another plugin then set to context using a name. I can get out this object using this name in a handler. I want to add some listener to this object in another plugin if it was injected/updated. I tried with RunAndTrack in an addon but the code didn't run. Please help!

How to add a property page to DirectShow filter

I have written an DirectShow-Filter *.ax to integrate a Hardware (Camera). All works fine with my filter.ax and there Transport Images to Skype success.
Now I am want to integrate a Dialog to handle the camera-options with UI.
In my Filter.ax is calling the function QueryInterface(REFIID riid, void **ppv)
when riid == IID_ISpecifyPropertyPages
I am have seen that the Dialog must be in a other DLL like Com ?
My try to open the Dialog directly works, but no windows Messages are incoming.
I must also write an MFC Dll they is starting by PropertyPage IIID ? My Propertypage is a large MFC Controles TabControl with some items. I can see it if i start the filter from MFC Test app. AfxInit I can't execute. (Wrong Lib versions I must use the directshow baseclass(knowledge example)
I don't now why my Dialog got no Messages, what is the right way ?
You don't need to implement a property page in a separate DLL (even though it is a possible).
DirectShow filter property pages are regular COM property pages implemented using ISpecifyPropertyPages. Property pages are separate COM objects implementing well known interfaces like IPropertyPage.
Windows SDK Ezrgb24 sample shows how to implement a simple transform filter and also features a property page (CEZrgb24Properties class). It should be a good start for a property page implementation for your filter.
If you prefer to implement the property page in a separate DLL, a typical way is to define a shared COM interface, the filter would implement it and reference the property page by its CLSID, the property page would query this interface from the filter instance and use it for configuration actions.

IBM RFT does not find .net object from framework

I have to check a frame window with RFT which is written with a .net framework. My problem is, after adding the frame as Testobject via drag and drop to the script it works fine. But after restarting RFT, it isnt able to recognize that frame any more, neither with find method or the highlight function for objects.
I read that there is a way to add objects to the proxys. But this frame is declared at proxy .Net.FormProxy and this proxy is existing in the file rational_ft.rftcust as
<Obj L=".Proxy">
<ClassName>Rational.Test.Ft.Domain.Net.FormProxy</ClassName>
<Replaces/>
<UsedBy>[System.Windows.Forms]System.Windows.Forms.Form</UsedBy>
</Obj>
I dont get what is the problem. Especially, why is it working some times but not always.
Thx for help..
The problem you have mentioned may happen for the following reasons.
The object recognition is indeed changing . And it is not necessarily the object that you are having problem with has object recognition issue , but an object in the parent heirarchy of this object (unless this object is the top level object).
The second reason could be the application is not getting enabled during playback time and you can try getRootTestObject().enableForTesting(/) API to force enable the application.
On a recorded Form object in the Object Map try to use the "update recognition properties" to see if there is change in recognition properties in actual vs recorded object.
You can also just test a different simple Form Application to see if the issue is related to your application or if it is general issue in your environment( I suspect it to be related to the application).

How to display BlackOil in Petrel Function Window programatically

How do you display the Oil/Water/Gas components of a BlackOil domain object programatically on the FunctionWindow? I tried calling FunctionWindow.ShowObject on BlackOil.OilPhase but received an error that it could not be found on the input tree.
I need to say sorry here, but this is the bad case when you can get an programmatically access to the object via FluidFunctionCollection (you can create/update it), but you cannot get access to the same object via InputTree interface (you will receive an UnknownEntity via GetType method when try to navigate from Petrel UI to this object type and send it to your plug-in (doesn't exposed for Ocean from this site yet)), and by this reason you cannot display this object programmatically. I submitted an internal ticket for your case.

How to get a module instance in PRISM

I have a PRISM desktop app which loads modules from a directory with the help of the DirectoryModuleCatalog.
Everything is fine, except that I cannot find a way to get the instance of a loaded module.
IModuleManager and IModuleCatalog don't have a method like getInstance(ModuleInfo) or similar.
See
moduleManager.LoadModule(moduleInfo.ModuleName);
This line loads the module properly(moduleManager is of type IModuleManager), but what do I have to do next to get the actual instance of this module?
The modules are loaded on demand of the user, so I cannot register all modules at startup within the bootstrapper.
If by Module instance you mean the class that implement IModule, then you must explicitly register the instance into the container to be able to get it.
Although the aforementioned will work, you should not take that approach at all. The idea is that the module classes are specific to a particular module and should only be used for module initialization purposes.
I would place each module's Start method in a separate component (IStartable), register each component in the container with a different Id and resolve/import an IEnumerable to get all instances that have the start method.
Hope this helps
