hi All,

i would like to manage what is generated from my Dsl grammar ( that means if i have for example the following rule in my grammar :

TSenderReceiverInterface:
	(annotations +=TAnnotation)*
	 'interface' 'senderReceiver' (isService?='service')? name=ID '{'
			(dataElements += TDataElement)*
		'}'
;

after running the workflow and hte MWe2 file as an eclipse application , the edited file that i would have , i wat it such that when i using the content assist the file propose is this :

 interface senderReceiver [color=skyblue]name [/color]{
	
}

, ie i wanx xtext to propose me a name as default name and ii dont want to be the one entry name all the time , but what i have now , i'm the one entry the name all the time.

also i want proposed name or the enter to be unique , i was thinking that is the case when you are using ID instead of String but is not the case.

any ideas on which class i need to modify to handle that problem.

hi,
may i did not exposed my problem clearly.

what i'm trying to said , is thiswhich function or which part in my project i'm suppose to modify if i want to manage the code completion. by choosing how the completion text will be proposed. for example:

i i have the following simple grammar :

 grammar org.xtext.example.mydsl2.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate myDsl "http://www.xtext.org/example/mydsl2/MyDsl"

Model:
	greetings+=Greeting*;
	
Greeting:
	'Hello'  '{'   name=ID '!'  '}';

and after running the workflow and the eclipse application , i want xtext to propose this sentence as a code completion

 Hello { name ! }

instead of proposing Hello after that , wait for me to enter the ID and after that propppose me to enter !.

so i want xtext to propose a sentence to me during code completion instead of proposing just a word any time. also i want him to give a default name during the proposition of the sentence , instead of waiting for me to enter the name .

Hope is clear now.

Thks in advance

Frank
