Remove view name from Eclipse menu Window -> Show View

Question

I need to remove the name/shortcut of the view which I have created from the Window->Show View menu. Because I display this view in a separate menu.

Is there any way to hide/remove its entry from Window->Show View menu.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Hi,

I would suggest you to go to window->Preferences or customize perspective. I think this is place from where we can controls the menu's to be displayed. BTW how did u create ur own menu ???

Thanks

You can add/remove any view from the "Show View" menu from the Customize Perspective / Menu Visibility tab:

To do the same thing programmatically would imply to follow the same course of action than the class org.eclipse.ui.internal.dialogs.CustomizePerspectiveDialog, and look into the method okPressed() for instance:

perspective.setShowViewActionIds(menu.getCheckedItemIds());
