[mitk-users] Save perspective action without experimental command contributions?

[Miklos Espak]

Hi,

I noticed that the BlueBerry framework allows saving perspective with a
given name. This feature would be quite handy for us.

Is there a way to make BlueBerry create a Save Perspective action?

As I see, it is enabled only if the command contributions are enabled, and
for that you would need to change the
USE_EXPERIMENTAL_COMMAND_CONTRIBUTIONS static variable to true in an MITK
source file.

We have a customised workbench window advisor that derives from
QmitkExtWorkbenchWindowAdvisor. We can add new actions in
PostWindowCreate().

Cheers,
Miklos

Ignore this, figured it out.

Here is the code, maybe it will be useful for someone later.

void BaseWorkbenchWindowAdvisor::PostWindowCreate()

{

QmitkExtWorkbenchWindowAdvisor::PostWindowCreate();


berry::IWorkbenchWindow::Pointer window =
this->GetWindowConfigurer()->GetWindow();

QMainWindow* mainWindow =
static_cast<QMainWindow*>(window->GetShell()->GetControl());

QMenuBar* menuBar = mainWindow->menuBar();

QList<QMenu *> menus = menuBar->findChildren<QMenu*>();


for (QMenu* menu: menus)

{

for (QAction* action: menu->actions())

{

if (action->text() == "&Reset Perspective")

{

berry::CommandContributionItemParameter::Pointer param(

new berry::CommandContributionItemParameter(

window.GetPointer(),

QString(),

berry::IWorkbenchCommandConstants::WINDOW_SAVE_PERSPECTIVE_AS,

berry::CommandContributionItem::STYLE_PUSH));

param->label = "Save Perspective &As...";

m_SavePerspectiveItem = new berry::CommandContributionItem(param);

m_SavePerspectiveItem->Fill(menu, action);

}

}

}

}


Cheers,
Miklos
