Direct Edit a GEF edit part with TextFlow [message #629852]

Is it possible to direct edit type into a GEF EditPart that has a figure containing a draw2d TextFlow? SWTBotGefEditor.directEditType only seems to work for Text widgets. Thanks - Barry

Anyone? Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps this is work in progress?

TextFlow is a Gef figure and you can't interact with it directly. You
can only interact with EditParts and Widget and I don't know how hard it
would be to implement interaction with figures.

I did a quick search for the usage of TextFlow and it seems it is
wrapped by a MultiLineLabel. There is currently no direct support for
this widget, but you can do this to interact with it:
final MultiLineLabel widget =
bot.widget(widgetOfType(MultiLineLabel.class));

asyncExec(new VoidResult()
{
public void run()
{
widget.setText("This is some text");
}
});

However, if you are not using a MultiLineLabel, I really don't know how
to help you.

Hope this helps.
