Re: [platform-ui-dev] vertical ruler problem

[Tom Eicher <tom_eicher@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Stefaan,

From the Eclipse FAQ: Unless you are actively contributing to an 
Eclipse project, have a vested interest in the topic, or have special 
expertise to contribute, you should simply /read/ the archive for the 
mailing list and /ask questions/ on the corresponding newsgroups.

Having said, that, there is currently no way to dynmically change the 
width of the annotation ruler column from the outside. In an editor you 
control, you could override 
AbstractDecoratedTextEditor#createAnnotationRulerColumn and provide your 
own implementation that allows resizing.

Also see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25793 which is 
currently being worked on and provides an extension point for ruler columns.

HTH, tom

There is currenlty no way to do this
