Hi,

I have set up a custom feature to handle double click events. From this, I would like to call my DirectEditFeature. I can easily get the appropriate feature, but execute() is defined as a no-op it seems.

There is documentation for calling direct edit immediately after object creation, but this solution doesn't work if the object has already been created.

So, is there a way to invoke direct edit? (And why not implement the execute method?)

Regards,

Adrian.

After providing the directEditingInfo (I gues that is what you mean) you
will have to enforce a refresh on the diagram editor
(DiagramEditor.refresh()). That should enable direct editing.

HTH,
Michael

Yes, it works now. Many thanks!

For anyone looking to do the same you will need code something like:

IDirectEditingInfo directEditingInfo =
getFeatureProvider().getDirectEditingInfo();
directEditingInfo.setMainPictogramElement(pe);

//pe should be shape and ga text
directEditingInfo.setPictogramElement(s);
directEditingInfo.setGraphicsAlgorithm(s.getGraphicsAlgorithm());

directEditingInfo.setActive(true);
getDiagramEditor().refresh();
