PreferenceDialog createPreferenceDialogOn(
Shell shell,

Object data)
Creates a workbench preference dialog and selects particular preference page. If there is already a preference dialog open this dialog is used and its selection is set to the page with id preferencePageId. Show the other pages as filtered results using whatever filtering criteria the search uses. It is the responsibility of the caller to then call open(). The call to open() will not return until the dialog closes, so this is the last chance to manipulate the dialog.

Parameters:
shell - The Shell to parent the dialog off of if it is not already created. May be null in which case the active workbench window will be used if available.
preferencePageId - The identifier of the preference page to open; may be null. If it is null, then the preference page is not selected or modified in any way.
displayedIds - The ids of the other pages to be displayed using the same filtering criterea as search. If this is null, then the all preference pages are shown.
data - Data that will be passed to all of the preference pages to be applied as specified within the page as they are created. If the data is null nothing will be called.
Returns:
a preference dialog.
