Description

Carsten, when you say 'no the icon' did you mean 'note' (i.e. the original minimize in "A" works as expected) ? When you get into the situation where A's minimized view isn't appearing (i.e. after switching to Home and back) what happens if you resize the shell? I'm trying to see if this is just a layout issue (which i can likely do something about...;-). Hi Eric, sorry, I wanted to say "Now the icon for restoring this view appears in the trim area.". This meant that before switching the perspective everything works fine. If I resize the shell, the icons appear again. So it really seems to be a layout issue. Greetz What do your toolbar buttons execute in order to change the perspective? It may be as simple as changing how you're doing this. If you use Ctrl-3 to switch perspectives my suspicion is that it will work correctly. That code AFAIK simply executes the 'Show Perspective' command, filing in the parameter with the id of the perspective that you want to see...perhaps you could try something similar? Hi, I perform PlatformUI.getWorkbench().showPerspective(id, window) to change the perspective. This way the error occurs as described before. Greetz, Carsten I was having a similar but not exactly the same problem as this in my RCP. I added a perspective listener and issued: PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell().layout() on a perspectiveChange and my problem went away. Hope this helps, Corey Hi, thanks for that hint. Unfortunately this solution does not solve my problem. I have the same problem with a 3.4M7 Target platform in my RCP. So the problem does still exist. Greetz, Carsten Carsten, have you tried adding Corey's code: PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell().layout(); immediately after your call to 'showPerspective' ? We won't be able to fix this for 3.4 but I'm more than willing to help in finding a work around for now... Carsten, are you using the standard workbench for your RCP app? I've just hacked up a plugin (from the Hello World command template) that has two commands: Show Java Perspective & Show Debug Perspective. These commands use 'IWorkbench#showPerspective' to show the perspective. When using these commands in base eclipse I can't reproduce the issue you're seeing. I have minimized stacks in both but the layout always works for me (I'm on XP as well). Is there any chance that the perspective that's showing this error is throwing an exception on activation? This is the only thing that I can think of that would exit the Perspective#onActivate without forcing a layout... Hi, it seems that I did not execute Corey´s code at the right position. After Eric´s hint I executed the line PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell().layout(); directly after performing "showPerspective". Now the error seems to be solved. I´d like to thank everyone for their help!! Greetz, Carsten Based on Carsten's last comment... |
