[news.eclipse.platform] Re: fast view position

[cshowalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Chad Showalter)]

I've asked the question below in several different ways on this newsgroup 
and eclipse.platform.rcp... and haven't received any feedback.

I'd appreciate some feedback on this, even if it's just a push in the 
right direction or an opinion that what I'm trying to do is impossible.

I'll be glad to clarify the question if its unclear.

Thanks,
Chad




*************************************

I want to be able to open a fastview programmatically so that it appears 
at the bottom of the screen.  I can only get it to open on the left.

In the platform.xml, I have:    <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.views">   
         <view
           class="SummaryView"
           id=   "SummaryView"
           name= "Summary View"/>
    <view
     category="category1"
     allowMultiple="false"
     class="DetailsView"
     name="Details View"
     id="DetailsView
  </extension>

  <perspectiveExtension targetID="Perspective">
  <perspectiveShortcut id="Perspective"/>
  <view
              id="SummaryView"
              relationship="top"
              ratio=".50"
              relative="org.eclipse.ui.editorss"
              closeable="false"/>
 <view
              id="DetailsView"
              relative="SummaryView"
              relationship="fast"
              ratio="0.5"
              visible="true"/>    </perspectiveExtension>

Then, in code:

(DetailsView)PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().showView("DetailsView");


The fastview opens on the left half of my screen.  How can I make it 
appear on the bottom instead?  Thanks,
Chad
