[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: How to get form MessageManager?

[Thomas Fahrmeyer <lauritziu_ii@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

what I did to make it work was to create a ManagedForm:

IMessageManager manager = new ManagedForm(m_formToolkit, 
m_form).getMessageManager();

In all my code I'm using m_form instead of the managed form being 
created. It recognized no side effects. I used the message manager a 
lot. I implemented a bridge between Databinding and the message manager, 
to get validation messages to be shown in the message area. Works like a 
charm :)
