Lars, if you want to put a part into a dialog you should be able to use the rendering engine directly. The only requirement should be that the MPart's context is correctly initialized *before* you call 'createGui(partComposite, part)'.
You'll need the appropriate MWindow's context and the rendering engine (get from the application context through IPresentationEngine.class.getName() ) 1) Construct the context for the part using the MWindow's context as the parent and set it on the part 2) In the dialog's 'createContents' method create a Composite to host the Part. 3) call the rendering engine's two arg 'createGui', passing the composite and the part The only problem I see is that we've extended the information the rendering engine populates a new context with quite a bit (i.e. we expose all interfaces like MUILabel, MContext.. to make them injectable). Depending on how much of this extra ;local' info your part needs you may have to add what you need to host the part into its context yourself. This leads me to wonder whether we should just add a 'parentContext' to the current two arg 'createGui' which would allow the part's context creation to go through the standard context creation code. Let me know if you're having problems getting this to work, it should...
