Hi,

i have created a gmf project like at the following image can be seen:
index.php/fa/13016/0/

Now there are two questions:

What needs to be changed in the source code so that the individual elements (files, folders) can be created statically via a button?
How needs the source code of the GUI to be adjusted so that a button appears in the palette?

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Philipp

Hi,

the method managePalette in this template does the job of creating a model element in the Palette: http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/melanie/source/browse/de.uni_mannheim.informatik.swt.models.gmf/templates/aspects/xpt/editor/Editor.xpt . I did put some code for intialization into the ElementInitializer http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/melanie/source/browse/de.uni_mannheim.informatik.swt.models.gmf/templates/aspects/xpt/providers/ElementInitializers.xpt#108 You could also modify the create command to take the selected tool into account.

Hi Ralph,

thank you very much for your response.
But i need changes in the generated code which the GMF framework has generated, not changes in the framework.
I think i have to change the code in the XXX.diagram project. But I'm not sure which classes or methods i have to change.

Best regards,

Philipp

Hi Philipp,

the thing is that you will get in trouble when changing the generated template instead of using custom templates or extension points. For every class in the templates you will find a corresponding generated class. Just take a look for the class name in the templates and search for it. You will find the generated classes.

Hi Ralph,

do you mean that i have not the change the generated source code from GMF but the Xpand templates in the GMF framework?
If this is the case, how will the Xpand templates be included? Sorry for this beginner question but I'm new in Xpand.
Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Philipp

Hey Philipp!

Follow the steps from the following link:
http://www.bonitasoft.org/blog/eclipse/customize-your-gmf-editor-by-customizing-templates/

There are a lot of examples at the SVN from Bonita Open Solution:
http://www.bonitasoft.org/websvn/listing.php?repname=Bonita+Open+Solution&path=%2Fbonita-studio%2Ftrunk%2Fplugins%2Forg.bonitasoft.studio-models%2FGMFTemplates%2Faspects%2Fimpl%2Fdiagram%2Feditparts%2F#path_bonita-studio_trunk_plugins_org.bonitasoft.studio-models_GMFTemplates_aspects_impl_diagram_editparts_

Good luck! Smile
