Loading a file causes layout problems [message #237099]

Hello.

I've the following problem:

I create an editpart with another editpart as its children and than save the file. Then load the file and everything is okay but if I move the first created editpart (the parent), the child doesn't move.
This child editpart rest in its position. It seems that after loading the child doesn't know that it has a parent because without loading the problem doesn't exist.

I hope you can help me.

Greetings,
Ralf

Hi,

You need ensure that your parent editpart is still a parent editpart after
you loaded everything from the file. Also, ensure that proper edit
policies are installed on the editparts.
Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi.

I solved the problem. I maintain the layout information(position and size) of all graphical objects in my model. And the problem was that if I moved a parent edit part the layout information of the children weren't set. Now I update the layout information of all children recursively. That works.

Thanks Alex for your answer.
