Hi.

Once in tutorial the binding between properties sheet and pictogram is not presented, i've been researching the more correct way of doing that. One example i've found is this one:
http://trac.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/trac/11ss-eclipse/browser/graphiti/de.cau.cs.rtprak.graphiti/src/de/cau/cs/rtprak/graphiti/property/StateSection.java

Is this the right way? We have to listen focus lost and then use a command to write the changes?

There is no such automatic binding mechanism like jface? I know Jface also binds emfproperties.
My question is if we must use the command to commit changes in the model.


Thanks in advance

Rui,

this could be one way to achieve it, if it fits depends on your tool. Our
FAQ page at http://www.eclipse.org/graphiti/developers/faq.php shows another
way how to add an editable property sheet.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.

I thought that it should exist some way for automatic binding.

Thanks again.

Not within Graphiti or the properties. But there is a DataBinding
implementation for EMF. Maybe that's what you are looking for, e.g

Hi. I saw that, but my question is if that deals (writes) to resource file with emf transactions?
I think it only changes the memory-model, and the developer is responsible for writing to file anyway, isn't it?

The writing to memory must happen inside an EMF Transaction. AFAIK EMF
databinding does that, or at least there is an option to do so (sorry, my
memory is fading here, it's been a few years since I used databinding the
last time...). Writing to the filesystem is in the resposibility of the
developer anyhow, but if you use the editor's editing domain, the editor
will do it for you.
