Change Labels of PopupBar [message #11409]

Hi,

I'm trying to change the labels of the popupbar - I'm not sure wether this
is the correct name. I mean the kind-of-contextmenu-thing that appears
after dragging a connection. I need to change the labels of the entries
there - is there any chance to do that?

In the same context I need to change the ToolTips of the other "Tool" that
provides the graphical views of the available elementtypes (I also do not
know a name for that) and appears on CTRL+Space.

Thanks for help,

--Verena

It's a PopupMenuCommand showing a list of IElementType for you to pick one.

You need to hack the ConnectionAndEndLabelProviderEx in the
PromptForConnectionAndEndCommandEx class that is used in the
PromptForConnectionAndEndCommandEx edit policy.

Best to extend ContainerNodeEditPolicyEx, override
getPromptForConnectionAndEndCommand and return there your own command
with your hacked label provider.

That's named the popup bar. You need to override PopupBarEditPolicyEx
and look at the populatePopupBars method.

Thanks,

I tried that, but it is never called. Do I need to 'register' that
somewhere?

This one goes the same - never called. I'd probably have to do something
to tell the 'Framework' that this one should be used, but I have no idea
where.

Thanks gaain for your help.

Do a Ctrl+Shift+G on ContainerNodeEditPolicyEx to see where it is used:
in the edit parts when they create their edit policies. Same for
PopupBarEditPolicyEx.

That's where you hook them up.

Thanks,
