Eclipse RCP View Tab Selection

I am using multiple views to display multiple table viewer. The working or functionality which I want is, when a user clicks on the views tab, the required data depending upon the view should get populated in the table.

Is there any proper event to do this ?

enter image description here I want to load data when user selects a particular view tab. I have used these two event for loading this data

First -

getViewSite().getPage().addSelectionListener(new ISelectionListener(){

@Override

public void selectionChanged(IWorkbenchPart part, ISelection lection) {

} });

for this event selectionChanged() method of all views are fired and loads data in all views .. !!

Second -

getSite().getPage().addPartListener(partListener);

private IPartListener partListener = new IPartListener() {
  public void partActivated(IWorkbenchPart part) {

  }
  public void partBroughtToTop(IWorkbenchPart part) {
  }
  public void partClosed(IWorkbenchPart part) {
  }
  public void partDeactivated(IWorkbenchPart part) {
  }
  public void partOpened(IWorkbenchPart part) {
   //writing code here to fill TableViewer
  }

};

for this, the data is loading while creating the views.

But, I want to load data in tableviewer when a user selects particular view Tab

You can use org.eclipse.ui.IPartListener to listen for the view part to become activated. Use:

getSite().getPage().addPartListener(partListener);

in your view part to set up the listener.

The partActivated method is called when the view is activated (partBroughtToTop also sometimes).

Note: You need to check that the part is actually your view as you will receive events for all parts.
