Eclipse Plug-in / View Question

I have a plugin which contains class A that brings up a view defined in class B via the following line of code:

(VideoLogView) PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().showView("Videolog.VideoLogView");

What I need to do in the createPartControl() method of the view (class B object) is access a method in the class A object.

How can this be done?

Thanks.

Thanks. Passing parameters to my view is exactly the issue. I will start reading the article immediately.

VonC - I have read the article, "Using the Selection Service." This doesn't seem to be what I am looking for. I need to access a method of class A when my view (class B) gets created and the createPartControl method is called. It seems the Selection Service comes into play once your view is created and displayed. Any other ideas?
