Properties view multiple selection

Hi Eclipse team,

Currently, we can only select and copy one property at a time in the properties view. We would like to know if it is possible to select multiple/all properties and copy them in bulk. If it is possible, may we know which classes we need to override to achieve this. Please see the attached image for reference.

Thank you very much.

Cheers,
Darryl

The properties view can get a custom properties view for each editor. It should provide a IPropertySheetPage when asked by the adapter call.

When an editor does not provide a custom IPropertySheetPage, the default PropertySheetPage is used. When you want mutiple selection, you should override the createControl method of that class, or make any other adjustments.
