[EEF] Need help with customization to generated UI (Element Editors) [message #731175]

Hi,

I have the following scenario:
1. I have an EObject Employee and another EObject Skills
2. Each Employee can have many skills.

However, while selecting for an existing skill for an Employee it should be possible to create his own new Skill too. I don't want to create a Skill seperately and then map it to an Employee. I want to create a new Skill or re-use and existing one while mapping skills to an Employee.

My question is the following:
1. Is there a Element Editor in EEF that allows me to do the same.
2. If not how can I create a Custom Element Editor and hook it to the code.

Thanks!
Best Regards,
Nidhi

It depends how you created the skills references in your metamodel.
It should be a reference with containment set to true, in order to
create new skills for this employee. if you want to choose a skill that
is already created, you need to create a reference without containment.
you cannot mix both.

For both cases, EEF provides a widget :
AdvancedTableComposition
AdvancedReferenceTable
