Specified by:

setActiveEditor in interface IEditorActionBarContributor

Overrides:

setActiveEditor in class EditorActionBarContributor

Parameters:

part - the new target editor

setActivePage

public abstract void setActivePage(IEditorPart activeEditor)

Sets the active page of the the multi-page editor to be the given editor. Redirect actions to the given editor if actions are not already being sent to it.

This method is called whenever the page changes. Subclasses must implement this method to redirect actions to the given editor (if not already directed to it).

Parameters:

activeEditor - the new active editor, or null if there is no active page, or if the active page does not have a corresponding editor
