Eclipse RCP: How to bring existing WorkbenchWindow to the top?

In my RCP application, I created multiple WorkbenchWindow. Once multiple windows are opened, I would like to bring one of them on top programmatically. In my code, I can find out "theWindow" (type of IWorkbenchWindow) that I want to do that, but I'm not sure how to bring it to top (set it active?)

Solution

  • Thanks to Rambler for the hint of forceFocus(), the actual function that does the trick is:

    theWindow.getShell().forceActive();
