Description David Dubrow CLA 2006-05-02 09:11:53 EDT 
We make dynamic changes to the palette and wish ro restore the open state of the drawers. However, DrawerEditPart which provides access to the state is in an internal package.
Comment 1 Randy Hudson CLA 2006-05-02 10:30:43 EDT 
The place to do this is in the model. There is already API to control the drawer's initial open state.
Comment 2 David Dubrow CLA 2006-05-02 11:14:27 EDT 
Yes, to set the state of the drawers we do this in the model. However, to get the open state of the drawers, there seems to be no other way than to query the edit parts.
Comment 3 Randy Hudson CLA 2006-05-02 11:31:25 EDT 
You can ask the guy who is displaying the palette model:
PaletteViewer.isExpanded(PaletteDrawer)
