[news.eclipse.tools.emf] Re: Limit Copy, Paste, Cut keyboard shortcuts t

Hi Paul an Tom,

With some extra inspiration, I found the solution to my problem. Here it is:

        textName.addFocusListener(new FocusListener()
        {
            IAction emfcutaction = detailsPage.getActionBars().getGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.CUT.getId());
            IAction emfcopyaction = detailsPage.getActionBars().getGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.COPY.getId());
            IAction emfpasteaction = detailsPage.getActionBars().getGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.PASTE.getId());
           
            IAction standardCut = new Action()
            {
                public void run()
                {
                    textName.cut();
                }
            };

            IAction standardCopy = new Action()
            {
                public void run()
                {
                    textName.copy();
                }
            };

            IAction standardPaste = new Action()
            {
                public void run()
                {
                    textName.paste();
                }
            };
           
            public void focusLost(FocusEvent e)
            {

                detailsPage.getActionBars().setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.CUT.getId(), emfcutaction);
                detailsPage.getActionBars().setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.COPY.getId(), emfcopyaction);
                detailsPage.getActionBars().setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.PASTE.getId(), emfpasteaction);
                detailsPage.getActionBars().updateActionBars();
            }


            public void focusGained(FocusEvent e)
            {
                detailsPage.getActionBars().setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.CUT.getId(), standardCut);
                detailsPage.getActionBars().setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.COPY.getId(), standardCopy);
                detailsPage.getActionBars().setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.PASTE.getId(), standardPaste);
                detailsPage.getActionBars().updateActionBars();
            }
        });

Thanks for your help.

Would it be possible that I pass the wrong workbench window to these three actions? Here is how I initialized them below:

    IAction standardCut = ActionFactory.CUT.create(editor.getEditorSite().getWorkbenchWindow());
    IAction standardCopy = ActionFactory.COPY.create(editor.getEditorSite().getWorkbenchWindow());
    IAction standardPaste = ActionFactory.PASTE.create(editor.getEditorSite().getWorkbenchWindow());

As Tom mentioned, the ActionFactory actions are retargetable (and not even that in 3.4).  They don't do anything, they just delegate execution to something else.

If you need to have "copy" work as *either* normal copy in the current text control *or* run your copy action to deal with something in the part (a graphical object, for example) you can use org.eclipse.ui.actions.TextActionHandler
