Description Chip Downs CLA 2008-02-04 08:31:49 EST
Please provide a means to override, overload, or completely disable the activation/deactivation control provided via the CustomTaskListDecorationDrawer in the Task List View.  Unless mistaken, this Listener is instantiated in the view's createPartControl(Composite) method and is not accessible by a subclassed view.

My project requires that tasks activate and deactivate automatically based on the attributes of the content (opened/edited in the users' RCP app) compared to the attributes in their assigned tasks (see Bug #217315).  Activation is potentially a completely hidden behavior to the user.  We'd like to be able to completely remove the controls from view, or replace them with ones that don't listen for mouse events.

Note:  Our subclass of Mylyn's TaskListView also includes its own ContentProvider and LabelProvider in order to display additional columns.

Chip: since this is not the intended UI for the Task List, it is unlikely we can prioritize this for 3.0.  However, if you provide a patch and test case for the behavior that you're after we should be able to integrate this additional flexibility.  Let me know if you need any assistance getting started.
