Hi!

I'm writing a new view which should be notified of selection changes or property changes (for instance a name change) in the editor or properties view.

The selection changes are already handled in my view:

ISelectionListener listener = new ISelectionListener() {
      	
		@SuppressWarnings("restriction")
		public void selectionChanged(IWorkbenchPart part, ISelection sel) {
      		if (sel instanceof IStructuredSelection) {
			IStructuredSelection ss = (IStructuredSelection) sel;
			Object o = ss.getFirstElement();
				
	        	if (o instanceof ContainerShapeEditPart) {
	        		ContainerShapeEditPart editPart = (ContainerShapeEditPart) o;
	        		IFeatureProvider fp = editPart.getFeatureProvider();
	        		selection = fp.getBusinessObjectForPictogramElement(editPart.getPictogramElement());
	        		castElement();
	        		createSuggestions();
	        	}
	        	else {
	        		generateErrorInstruction(part, sel);
	        	}
...

public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {

     ...
     getSite().getWorkbenchWindow().getSelectionService().addSelectionListener(listener);
     ...
}


Is there a way to get notified of property changes like that?
For instance: the moment you start typing a new name for an element in the diagram, I'd like to be notified.
Should I extract the name label of the selection and add a listener at that point? How should i go about this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

in order to achieve that you will have to register EMF Adapters to the
EObjects you want to observe. They will get notified as soon as the object
or its attributes change. There are numerous tutorials in the Web, e.g.

Thank you Michael!

You pointed me in the right direction.

If other people come across this problem, register a listener to your EObject like this:

((EObject)selection).eAdapters().add(new AdapterImpl() {
    
    @Override
    public void notifyChanged(Notification msg) {
    // Execute change reaction code.
    }

});
