Hi Everybody ,

i'm creating a diagram using the bpmn modeler.
Because of my domain specific usage i need to decorate the bpmn object
before displaying them.
how can i do that before the generateView() call.

Best Regards ,

Dali.

Hi till ,

the problem with this issue is that i need to create an annotation before
i can decorate my bpmn object.

in my case i need just to make some basic decoration (background color,..)
before displaying my object.

Best Regards ,

Dali

Dali, if you "just" need to do that, then you can go and provide your
own edit parts:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/STP/BPMN_Component/Samples#Provide_y our_own_edit_parts

The sample provides a different background color for text annotations.
You can do the same thing for an activity.

Thanks,

Antoine

Hi Antoine ,

The issue seems good but is it possible to apply decoration for specific
type of activity not for all the activity .

Best Regards ,

Dali.

Why, yes, of course, you just need to do something like:

protected void paintFigure(Graphics graphics) {
super.paintFigure(graphics);
/** CONDITION HERE **/
if (needSpecialLookAndFeel()) {
IMapMode mm = MapModeUtil.getMapMode(this);
int lineWidth = mm.LPtoDP(1);
graphics.setForegroundColor(getForegroundColor());
graphics.setBackgroundColor(getBackgroundColor());
Rectangle toFill = getBounds().getCopy();
toFill.height -= lineWidth * 2;
toFill.width -= lineWidth;
toFill.x += lineWidth;
toFill.y += lineWidth;

graphics.fillGradient(toFill, false);
}
/** END OF CODE THAT CUSTOMIZES THE LOOK AND FEEL **/
}

Once you have the edit part you can do whatever you want with it.

Thanks,

Antoine
