I have two views in my RCP application, wherein I’m performing a task(background operation),the status of the operation is shown in view1. What I’m trying to achieve is that,during the task in progress, user shouldn’t able to move/traverse to other views.They(other views) should be disabled.

As a workaround i tried using the showView method of IWorkbenchPage.

activePage.showView(view.ID,null,IWorkbenchPage.VIEW_VISIBLE);

I’ve used the three constants VIEW_VISIBLE,VIEW_ACTIVATE,VIEW_CREATE. None worked in my case though.By the way in showView method signature, i could not figure out what is a secondary id.

Below is the simulated demo of my problem
enter image description here

here the user can traverse to view Demo,during the operation, which shouldn’t be actually.
How can i resolve this, any ideas please?

    You can’t really disable a view (there is no notion of “disabled views”). The only thing you can do is hide it. Use the hideView() method to do that.
