Re: [ptp-dev] Dynamic behavior in launch configurations
|
Corey,
The launch tab lifecycle is documented in ILaunchConfigurationTabGroup. Inter-tab communication is meant to happen via attributes in the launch configuration. Each tab should write its values into the configuration via performApply. When a tab becomes visible, it should set the state of the widgets based on values obtaiuned from the launch configuration. You can override the activated() method in order to be notified when the tab becomes visible.
HTH,
Greg
