Search within a diagram [message #841936]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone had experience with searching (for text) within a diagram?

In particular, I was wondering if it is more efficient to search on the diagram or the model files?

Are there methods to recenter the canvas and select the result of a search (in the simple case of a single result, for instance)?

Thanks,
Joe

Hello Josef,

I had to do something like that some time ago. I´ve ended up by searching on the model files using this : http://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF_Search

To select the result of a searh in the diagram I guess I would take a look at setSelectionProvider method in IWorkbenchSite.

I have no experience with searching, but I can suggest to use
DiagramEditor.selectPictogramElements(PE[]) for bringing the focus on the
search result.
