Re: [platform-debug-dev] Programmatically adding memory monitor and rendering 
Samantha,
I'm using a CMemoryBlockExtension... Should I be subclassing from that? If so, how do I then get my memory block used?
Also, From your description, you seem to be saying that I should provide a #getAdapter() that returns an ILabelDecorator or an IAsynchronousLabelAdapter. 
Have I misunderstood?

Thanks

Hi Derek -

1.  To customize the rendering label:

From your memory block, provide an ILabelDecorator adapter.  (i.e. return

an ILabelDecorator when #getAdapter(adapter) is called.)  You label
decorator will be called when the rendering tries to construct the label.
You will be given the original label and the rendering when
ILabelDecorator#decorateText(...) is called.

2.  To customize the labels from the tree view pane, you need to provide
your own label adapter to your memory block.  From your memory block,
override the #getAdapter() method and return an IAsynchronousLabelAdapter
when needed.  The label adapter will be called whenever the memory block's
label is needed from the Memory View. For an example implementation of the
label adapter, look at MemoryBlockLabelAdapter.  (Please note that there
are other ways of providing adapters to your debug elements.  You may want
to look at the tutorial form EclipseCon to figure out which way is best for
you.)

Samantha,

Thanks - that works. Now some more questions:

1. I am using the standard memory viewer with my custom rendering. Is it
possible to override the text in the rendering tab? It currently says
address :
address <render_name>. I see it gets the text from a decorator, but can't
see
how to provide my own.

2. It appears that the text for the memory monitors is the expression used
to
create the monitor (in my case a memory address). Is it possible to
override so
that I can provide more descriptive text to my user? For example, the
memory
location (which I add programmatically) has an address (0x12345678) and a
name
(such as "Video memory"). I would like "Video memory" to be displayed.

Hi Derek -

The Memory View is an instance of IMemoryRenderingSite.  So, once you get

a

hold to the Memory View, cast it to an IMemoryRenderingSite.
IMemoryRenderingSite has two methods that allow you to get to the
containers:
#getMemoryRenderingContainers()
#getContainer(String id)

I have code sample from this bug that should help you with this task:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=87374

Regarding the MemoryViewUtil#getMemoryBlockRetrieval method, this method

is

currently internal and may change in future releases.  If you require

this

to be a public API, please submit an enhancement request and we will
consider making this as an API in the future.

Thanks...
Samantha

Hi,

I am trying to programmatically add a memory monitor and it's rendering.

I

have
written the code that adds the monitor to the memory view, but there is

no

rendering (user has to select from the rendering dialog).

So, I am now trying to add an appropriate rendering for the monitor. The
problem
I have is how to find the IMemoryRenderingContainer. I see there is an
getmemoryRenderingContainer() method in the AbstractMemoryRendering

class,

but I
am not writing a rendering, I just want to display an existing one!

Another (unrelated) question:

Also, I am using MemoryViewUtil.getmemoryBlockRetrieval (which works) but
gives
me compilation warnings as it is internal (restricted). Is there any plan
to
make the useful methods in MemoryViewUtil more publicly available (and
therefore
stable from change?)

Thanks,
---
