UI not updating after i change the domain model [message #664637]

Hello,

i'm having a problem with a GMF editor. I extended the editor with an action, that changes the underlying domain model by executing commands on the command stack.

The commands change the model as desired and i can also see the editor getting dirty. However, the changes are not reflected at the UI.

Any hints what might be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The editor gets dirty as the dirty state is based on commandstack
changes. As you change the domain model without changing the notation
model accordingly, you should somehow invoke the cannonical edit policy
so the change is reflected by creating a corresponding Notation View
object. (Your way is somewhat outside the standard behaviour, typically
a create request will create both a domain and notation object).

Hi Christophe,

thanks! Invoking the CanonicalEditPolicy did the trick.
