[Chethan Sharma]

Hi,

Could you please let me know how to remove "Last Edit Location" tool bar item in my application.

In Eclipse We can disabled "Last Edit Location" from
Winodw >> Customize perspective and press commands tab -uncheck the Editor Navigation item from Available Command groups.

Hi Chethan,
Are you creating a new application based on Eclipse. and wanting to remove the "Last Edit Location" tool bar button from the new application?

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

Exactly I am developing RCP application using Eclipse3.2.2.
In my application I want to remove "Last Edit Location" tool bar item.

Thanks,

I've never even looked at the Eclipse source code, so this is just some advice.
Have you searched through the source code and config files looking for the string "Last Edit Location". This should give you some idea how the button is created. Most projects of this size will use a resource or property file to specify what buttons display where etc. So I doubt you will find an explicit line that looks like:

JButton lastEditLocationButton = new JButton("Last Edit Location")

inside of a .java file, but you never know! Anyway, be sure to search through the properties files as well.

Good luck!

Hi,

The application is developing using swt.
this way I resolved this one. Thanks for your response.


=============================
private MenuManager createWindowMenu(IWorkbenchWindow window) {

....
.........
ActionSetRegistry reg = WorkbenchPlugin.getDefault().getActionSetRegistry();
IActionSetDescriptor[] actionSets = reg.getActionSets();
String actionSetId[] = {"org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.navigation" };

for (int i = 0; i < actionSets.length; i++) {
if ((!actionSets[i].getId().equals(actionSetId[0]))
&& (!actionSets[i].getId().equals(actionSetId[1])))
continue;
IExtension ext = actionSets[i].getConfigurationElement().getDeclaringExtension();
reg.removeExtension(ext, new Object[] { actionSets[i] });
}

return menu;
}

Thanks,
