Re: Question about opening multiple editors

Hi,

When opening editors, the important thing is to override the equals method
on the editor input. Equal inputs will open in the same editor instance.

Best regards,

This did it.
Since I originally wanted a ViewPart instead of an Editor, this one seems
to do the trick. Now when I double click on a TreeItem, a new view part is
shown with the proper contents.

String altId = getIdFomSelection();
try
{
IViewPart view =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().showView(GenericTableViewPartId,
altId, IWorkbenchPage. VIEW_ACTIVATE);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

when I double click on a TreeItem, I want to open a new editor/view

part. And I want to be able to have multiple editors open at the same
time. does anyone know how to do this?

My current code to open the editor is this:

String schema = ((TreeObject)firstElement).getLocation();
String table = ((TreeObject)firstElement).getName();
TableViewerInput tvi = new TableViewerInput(schema, table);
try
{
page.openEditor(tvi, "Reports.TableViewer", true);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

But when the event happens, the existing editor just shows new data

instead of opening a whole new editor part.
