Re: Re: Re: How to set the category programmatically in the suggestions window?

By the way, are you trying to permanently filter / exclude other
suggestion types such that you have a view dedicated to your
own suggestion type?

Filtering is probably not the best approach for this. Is this an
IDE type of application, or simply a platform-usage of NetBeans?

If it's an IDE you probably want to let users see other suggestions
too, so you probably really want your own "suggestion" view.
Look at the Scan action in the suggestions view - this creates
standalone views (these are not kept "live" in terms of edit
events however). 

You'd probably need some other APIs made public etc. to make
this practical, but it may be a better approach. But without
knowing what you're doing I can't say much :)
