Capturing/Listening to the start point of a Label Edit Event on a diagram [message #1729022]

Hi Everyone,

Do you guys have any idea on how I can listen to the starting of a label edit ?

Currently, we can define a tool for EditLabel in Sirius and run a java service to do a desired action. However, it only fires when the editing is finished. For example, I need to show a form when the user clicks on a label to edit. If I write a java service to show the form, the form is shown when the editing action is done. I need to show the form when the label has entered in the editing mode !

I tried to use Input Label Expression as it is fired at the beginning of the label edit. But, for some reasons it run the java service 6 times !!!

To give you a more concrete idea, I need to show a Xtext embedded editor to the user to edit the transition label.

Thank you,
Bests,
Parsa

Maybe it's normal, but sure sounds fishy.. Maybe you can produce a
simple example so we can see why it's executed that often?

Very interesting. I don't know if this is possible, but for sure I would
like to see a solution for this.

Hi Felix,

You can just create an edge that connects to nodes (e.g. a transition in state machine). Then crate an edit label tool for the transition edge and in the input label expression of the editlabel just add ==>> service:myservice()

also add JOptionPane.ShowMessageDialog(null, "myservice");

into the body of the myservice method. You can see that it displays the option dialog 6 times !!! Not sure if this 6 is fixed though Wink
