[news.eclipse.platform] Re: use of addDocumentListener(..)

[m_gla@xxxxxxxxx (Mgla)]

Hi vikram,
Can i get more insight..
I must acknowledge here that i am still very much a novice in 
understanding how eclipse works, but what i intend to do is add a document 
listener to every type of document (.xml,.doc.txt etc) that can be opened 
in an eclipse document window.  I want to access the document provider of 
any existing editor in eclipse, get the document and then add a document 
listener.  Below are my codes.

Thanks,
Mgla

public void docListner(){
 IWorkbenchPage page = 
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow()	                
getActivePage();
 IEditorPart part = page.getActiveEditor();
 if (!(part instanceof AbstractTextEditor)) 
   return;
 ITextEditor editor = (ITextEditor) part;
 IDocumentProvider dp = editor.getDocumentProvider();
 IDocument doc = dp.getDocument(editor.getEditorInput());
 doc.addDocumentListener(this);
}
