Add ViewPart to Editor view?

Question

Hi - we need to make custom information visible within the Editor view, for instance by having another tab alongside 'Translation Results', 'Concordance Search', 'Term Recognition' etc. Is it possible to define a ViewPart with a location that will make it added there? Failing that, is it possible to add a separate panel to the Editor view, somehow? Normally we'd experiment with the different location types etc. of ViewParts to find out, but the documentation seems, well, very sparse indeed, so there's nothing much to go on ...

Thanks in advance for any information.

Hi Kevin, 
 I just saw your question when browsing through the forum. If you open up the help for the integration API and navigate to: 
 SDL Trados Studio Integration API > User Interface Integration > Samples > Integrating viewparts 
 Scroll down to the bottom for the topic "Integrating view parts inside an existing SDL Trados Studio view" where you'll see how to integrate a view part in to the Projects Controller. If you switch ProjectsController for EditorController then this is essentially what you're looking to do.
