Description Chip Downs

Please provide a means to override, overload, or completely disable the activation/deactivation control provided via the CustomTaskListDecorationDrawer in the Task List View.  Unless mistaken, this Listener is instantiated in the view's createPartControl(Composite) method and is not accessible by a subclassed view.

My project requires that tasks activate and deactivate automatically based on the attributes of the content (opened/edited in the users' RCP app) compared to the attributes in their assigned tasks (see Bug #217315).  Activation is potentially a completely hidden behavior to the user.  We'd like to be able to completely remove the controls from view, or replace them with ones that don't listen for mouse events.

Note:  Our subclass of Mylyn's TaskListView also includes its own ContentProvider and LabelProvider in order to display additional columns.

Chip: since this is not the intended UI for the Task List, it is unlikely we can prioritize this for 3.0.  However, if you provide a patch and test case for the behavior that you're after we should be able to integrate this additional flexibility.  Let me know if you need any assistance getting started.

This bug has gone stale. Chip, please reopen if you still require this functionality.
