Re: [cdt-dev] MBS (IManagedOptionValueHandler) questions 
Just tried that...
1. I had to add a dependency on org.eclipse.cdt.core and import org.eclipse.cdt.core.AbstractCExtension to get ManagedBuildManager correctly.
2. Where do I get an IConfiguration from? I get passed an IBuildObject and IOptionHolder and an IOption? 

Thanks,

Hi Mikhail,
I have written an IManagedOptionValueHandler. I have added a new optionCategory 

and options to that OptionCategory that uses the valueHandler and
valueHandlerExtraArgument extension. I have added boolean and string options. 


IManagedOptionValueHandler gets passed IOptionHolder and IOption.


 From within the valuehandler I am using IOption.setValue(). Using these
interfaces I am almost getting the behaviour I want... If it setValue() on the
boolean option, the corresponding checkbox in the GUI is updated. However, if I
setValue() on the string, the corresponding textbox in the GUI is not updated 

until I interact with the GUI in some way (check the booleans checkbox, for

example).
*/[Mikhail] This seems like a bug. Try using the ManagedBuildManager API instead of IOption (see my comment below) and if this does not help please raise a bug./*
I have no docs for ManagedBuildManager so I don't know when/how to use it. As I 

am passed an IOption (and it is working - mostly - for me) I am using that.
*/[Mikhail] The org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.ManagedBuildManager is the entry-point for all MBS core operations. It should be used for setting option values as well. You should not call IOption.setValue because it will not work for the case of extension options (i.e. options whose values are not overridden by user settings)./*
*/The ManagedBuildManager contains the following methods that should be used for option value modifications (see JavaDoc comments for those methods for more detail):/* 

*/ /*
*public* *static* IOption setOption(IConfiguration config, IHoldsOptions holder, IOption option, *boolean* value)
*public* *static* IOption setOption(IResourceConfiguration resConfig, IHoldsOptions holder, IOption option, *boolean* value)
*public* *static* IOption setOption(IConfiguration config, IHoldsOptions holder, IOption option, String value)
*public* *static* IOption setOption(IResourceConfiguration resConfig, IHoldsOptions holder, IOption option, String value)
*public* *static* IOption setOption(IConfiguration config, IHoldsOptions holder, IOption option, String[] value)
*public* *static* IOption setOption(IResourceConfiguration resConfig, IHoldsOptions holder, IOption option, String[] value) 

*/ /*
*/The “IBuildObject configuration” argument passed to your value handler is either an IConfiguration or an IResourceConfiguration. You should do instanceof and call the proper ManagedBuildManager.setOption() method. Please let me know if you have any questions with using the ManagedBuildManager.setOption()/* 

*/ /*

*/Regards,/*

 Hi Derek,







 I did not fully understand how are you using the value handler



 mechanism. Could you elaborate a bit more on this (i.e. where are you



 calling the setValue from) so that I could understand your issue.



 BTW, you should not call the IOption.setValue directly. You should use



 the ManagedBuildManager.setOption() instead.

 Mikhail,







 When I use option.setValue(boolean), then the UI checkbox is updated



 However, when I option.setvalue(string), the the UI textbox is NOT



 updated,



 until I do something else in the UI (for example setting a checkbox). Is



 this I bug?
