Update View after command has changed model [message #676475]

Hi,

i have a TreeView with a list of Projects and Persons in this Projects (leaf).
Now i want to make a new Project. I have a Command for that. This command opens a dialog to insert the details of the new Project. But how do i update the treeView now?
I do it like this currently:

		NewProjectDialog dialog = new NewProjectDialog(window.getShell());
		if (dialog.open() == Window.OK) {
			Project project = dialog.getProject();
                        // Saving the new project in databank
			dbModel = new DatabankModel();
			dbModel.persistEntity(project);
			dbModel.save();
                        // Update treeViewer
			projects = new ProjectsModel();
			view.getViewer().setInput(projects.getProjects());
		}

but it seems a little ugly to me to update the view from the command?

I agree. IMO your model should be able to send model-change events and
the content provider of your viewer should listen to these events,
eventually ensuring the refresh.

Thanks for the reply!

The problem is the model is in the view class. Sure i could implement a getMethod for the model so that my command class can get it, but than i would again change the view class from the command class :-/

With a button i would just create a listener in the view and when the dialog to add a new project is closed i would get the new project from the dialog and add it to the model in the view, but with a command that isn't possible Sad
