Readonly Editor/Properties

Lea

Hi,

is it possible to open the Editor (RCPMultiPageReportEditor) and its properties in a read-only mode?

Thanks,

--Lea

I could still use some help with that.

This isn't about the engine in applications, is it? ;-) Just wondering.

Are you trying to limit the ability to change reports and layouts?
I didn't find anything useful about your question, _but_ being it's name _editor_, I'd guess you'd have to go through permissions regarding the editors files... Just a guess, though.

I'm integrating the BIRT-Plugins into my RCP-App. Guess, that's about the engine in apps :-).

Yes. I want to open the reporteditor(s) and its properties in a readonly mode (not just don't save it), so that it is not possible to change the layout/properties but to view them.

You mean, making the .rptdesign-File read only?

Sorry, I've never done that so the question stroke me as odd... :=> But it's a recurring question: http://old.nabble.com/Desktop-Based-Report-Viewer--td23129260.html

As I see it, either:
- try working around with permissions on the rptdesign files (ReportStorage has a isReadOnly method...)
- try finding out if org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.editors.IReportEditorPage#markPageStale(int)
is still around (found it in sources from 2006) and if it suits your purpose;
- would overwiting isSaveAsAllowed work?
- try finding out if a View is more useful than Editor

Just a couple ideas, wouldn't know if any of these will do.

Thanks for your reply. 
 
1 + 3. This does not work. It only forbids to save the design, but this is too late. I don't want the user to spend time on changing the design and finally he cannot save it. 
2. I already found that method but did not try it, since I was not sure whether it would help. I will try. 
4. Mmh. I don't want to change the complete design since it is working perfectly for 'normal' design files. I hope I can avoid that.

Take a look at these topics - maybe one of them can lead you the right way.

Should you find a solution, would you post it here?

Unfortunately both topics are about the saving mechanism and this is much too late. 
Probably I will overwrite each page (*sigh) and mark each control as read only. That's the ugliest solution.
