How do I add a WorkItemListener to WorkItemEditor?
Hi,
What is the right way to add an IWorkItemListener to a WorkItem that is currently opened in a WorkItemEditor? I have tried to cach the currently opened WorkItemEditor and do the following:
currentEditor = (WorkItemEditor) part;
IEditorInput input = currentEditor.getEditorInput();
if (input instanceof WorkItemEditorInput) {
WorkItemWorkingCopy workingCopy= ((WorkItemEditorInput) input).getWorkingCopy();
WorkItemUIWorkingCopy uiCopy= (WorkItemUIWorkingCopy) workingCopy.getAdapter(IWorkItemUIWorkingCopy.class);
uiCopy.getUIWorkItemListener().addListener(this);
}
However, this causes some strange behaviors. After I make changes to the WorkItem, the '*' sign doesn't appear on the editor tab as before and I can't directly save the changes. Only when I try to close the editor tab that there is a popup saying that there is another editor still opened and asking me if I want to save the changes.
Can anyone help me out on this, please?
Thanks,
Petcharat

Hi Petcharat,
WorkItemEditorInput.getWorkingCopy() could cause some unexpected behavior if called before the input was fully resolved (you could check that with WorkItemEditorInput.isResolved()). Depending on what you want to do you could also register a listener with IWorkItemWorkingCopyManager.addWorkItemListener(...) which would then be notified independently of the kind of editor used to change the work item.
