Stefan S.,
FYI, here's how to access the properties of the General Preference page of
Eclipse for "Open mode":
- OPEN_ON_SINGLE_CLICK --
WorkbenchPlugin.getDefault().getPreferenceStore().getBoolean(
IPreferenceConstants.OPEN_ON_SINGLE_CLICK );
- SELECT_ON_HOVER --
WorkbenchPlugin.getDefault().getPreferenceStore().getBoolean(
IPreferenceConstants.SELECT_ON_HOVER );
- OPEN_AFTER_DELAY ("Open when using arrow keys" in the preference page)
-- WorkbenchPlugin.getDefault().getPreferenceStore().getBoolean(
IPreferenceConstants.OPEN_AFTER_DELAY );
Eclipse is using the "OpenStrategy.setOpenMethod(singleClickMethod);"
instruction to set the open mode globally.
And uses this code to determine if an object should be opened:
OpenStrategy handler = new OpenStrategy(control);
handler.addOpenListener(new IOpenEventListener() {
public void handleOpen(SelectionEvent e) {
... // code to handle the open event.
}
});
Regards,
Pierre-Arnaud
