Setting dialog open twice Follow

Created October 20, 2015 15:14

Hi Team,
   For my plugin development, I configured my plugin to display like in following image (under Tools catergory Test)

----- plugin.xml -----
<extensions defaultExtensionNs="com.intellij">
    <applicationConfigurable groupId="tools" displayName="Test" id="test" instance="com.intellij.plugin.ui.settings.TestConfigurable" nonDefaultProject="true">
      <configurable instance="com.intellij.plugin.ui.settings.Test1" displayName="Test1" id="tools.test1"/>
      <configurable instance="com.intellij.plugin.ui.settings.Test2" displayName="Test2" id="tools.test2"/>
    </applicationConfigurable>

  </extensions>

When click on a hyperlink (where mouse pointer in above image Test1 or Test2), it will open new Setting dialog and display content of Test1 rather than displaying in same Setting dialog. Refer following image;

code used for Test1 click event;
ShowSettingsUtil.getInstance().showSettingsDialog(null, "Test1"); //also tried with pasing a project object

It display right content for the selection, but in seperate new window :(

Please help

Thanks,
Navin

You can try the following code:

import com.intellij.openapi.options.ex.Settings; // this is a class to communicate with the Setting dialog

DataContext context = DataManager.getInstance().getDataContextFromFocus().getResult(); // or another way to receive data context
if (context != null) {
  Settings settings = Settings.KEY.getData(context);
  if (settings != null) {
    settings.select(settings.find(...));
  }
}

There are two methods to find a configurable:

settings.find(String id) - uses SearchableConfigurable#getId of fully-qualified class name

settings.find(Class<?> type) - checks that a configurable instance is assignable to the specified class or interface

I forgot to say that you can use ShowSettingsUtil.getInstance().showSettingsDialog if settings is null.
It may be useful for links from other places.
