Re: [platform-debug-dev] extending VariablesView?
|
Darin,
This is great. I have implemented a new MemoryView which now almost does what I
want. To get it to do exactly what I want, I have 2 questions:
1. Can I programmatically add a monitor to the list of monitors? Can I make it
'permanent' (so the user can't remove it)?
2. Can I have a 2nd instance of a MemoryView. I'd like to use all the
infrastructure etc, but have it in my own window.
The API looks good. What is expected to change between now and when it becomes
official? Is there a bug I can attach to, to monitor?
Thanks,
---

In 3.2, we added experimental support for 'flexible content'. Basically,
a model can present and drive the update of any hierarchy of elements in
a debug view. However, the presentation (controls - tree/table) remains
as is. We hope to make the 3.2 support public API in 3.3. There was a
tutorial covering this material at EclipseCon 2006 - you can review the
presentation here:
http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/php/attachment.php?bugid=58.
Hopefully you are familiar with the DSDP project which is aimed at
embedded developers - http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/
