Hi Kalali,
Thank you a lot for your message. I did manage to have a custom DataManager
show on the left by using custom perspectives.
Basically, I created a new class and made it inherit from QObject and
berry::IPerspectiveFactory. In its CreateInitialLayout I added the custom
DataManager as with the method berry::IPageLayout::Pointer::AddView. Then, I
added the new perspective in the plugin.xml of the main application plugin:
<extension point="org.blueberry.ui.perspectives">
<perspective
id="org.sv.application.defaultperspective"
name="SimVascular"
class="sv4guiDefaultPerspective"
icon="resources/icon.png">
</perspective>
</extension>
Thank you again for the support.
Best,
Luca
