Hi,

There is a GEF editpart having direct edit working on label and direct edit is working fine but cut/copy/paste is not available for direct editing . I would like to have cut/copy/paste actions available for direct editing as well.

any idea?

Cheers,

Hi, when I use direct edit, I have cut/copy/paste available as with any SWT's Text widget.

Hi,

I have just realized that during direct edit, if i press ctrl + x(cut) then cut operation for widget is called.

i have
register(ActionFactory.CUT.create(window));
register(ActionFactory.COPY.create(window));
register(ActionFactory.PASTE.create(window));

in my ApplicationActionBarAdvisor's makeActions method. If i remoe this piece of code then cut/copy/paste start working for direct edit's text widget.

Do you know how to solve this?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Could you post here your EditPart class of the EditPart that can be directly edited?

Basically, it means that those shortcuts triggers the registered retarget actions, but you don't have registered any implementations for that.

You have to use org.eclipse.ui.part.CellEditorActionHandler in your org.eclipse.gef.tools.DirectEditManager.
Take a look at org.eclipse.gef.examples.logicdesigner.edit.LogicLabelEditManager how they do that.

public class MyEditPart extends AbstractPart {

public MyEditPart (Canvas cb) {
super(cb);
}

@Override
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {

if (evt.getPropertyName().equals(ModelObject.PROPERTY_NAME)) {
refreshVisuals();
}
}

@Override
protected IFigure createFigure() {
ModelObject Figure fig = new ModelObjectFigure(this);
ModelObject inv = (ModelObject) getModel();
fig.setName(inv.getName());
return fig;
}

@Override
protected void createEditPolicies() {
installEditPolicy(EditPolicy.LAYOUT_ROLE, new ClassLayoutPolicy());
installEditPolicy(EditPolicy.COMPONENT_ROLE, new DeletePolicy());
installEditPolicy(EditPolicy.DIRECT_EDIT_ROLE, new NameDirectEditPolicy());

}

@Override
public void performRequest(Request request) {
if(request.getType() == RequestConstants.REQ_DIRECT_EDIT || request.getType() == RequestConstants.REQ_OPEN) {
performDirectEditing();
}
}

private void performDirectEditing() {
Canvas cb = (Canvas) getMainCanvas();
if(cb.isClassInvariantsVisible()) {
Label lbl = ((ModelObjectFigure)getFigure()).getNameLabel();
NameEditManager manager = new NameEditManager(this, TextCellEditor.class, new NameEditorLocator(lbl), lbl, ((ModelObject ) getModel()).getName());
manager.show();
}

}

@Override
protected void refreshVisuals() {

}

@Override
public Object getAdapter(Class key) {
return Platform.getAdapterManager().getAdapter(getModel(), key);
}

public void setVisible(boolean visible) {
getFigure().setVisible(visible);
}
