Disabling Outline Tab in the Author view

[idak]

Hello,

I want to disable the outline tab in the Author view.
If it's possible to implement this functionality, what are the java classes to be used?

Many thanks.

Hi,

Using our Plugins SDK:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen_sdk.htm ... er_Plugins

you can create a Workspace Access plugin (there is a sample plugin in the SDK for this).

The plugin can add a view component customizer which can replace the Outline with a custom swing component:

Code: Select all

  pluginWorkspaceAccess.addViewComponentCustomizer(new ViewComponentCustomizer() {

      /**

       * @see ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.standalone.ViewComponentCustomizer#customizeView(ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.standalone.ViewInfo)

       */

      @Override

      public void customizeView(ViewInfo viewInfo) {

        if("Outline".equals(viewInfo.getViewID())) {

          viewInfo.setComponent(new javax.swing.JLabel("Outline not available"));

        }

      }

    }); 

Do you want to disable the Outline only in the Author page (and have it working in the Text page)?
If so, on the customizer you can probably return a JPanel which has a card layout and shows either the Outline if the current selected editor is opened in the Text page or a custom label if not.

You can add a WSEditorListener to be notified when an opened editor gets selected and to each editor you can add a page changed listener.

Hi Radu,
The user wants to simplify the process : Window>Show View>Outline by adding a custom button to hide/show the Outline View.

Thanks

Hi,

We currently only have API to show a view using:

StandalonePluginWorkspace.showView(String, boolean)

We will consider adding API to hide a view in a future version. I will update this thread when the new API becomes available.

Radu

OK
Thank you Radu

Hi,

We released Oxygen 15.0 a couple of days ago.
In Oxygen 15.0 we added this extra API:

Code: Select all

StandalonePluginWorkspace.hideView(String)
