Undo / Redo not active when in Graphiti property view [message #1729596]

I created a property section using the <propertySection ... /> support in plugin.xml. The code of the property section inherits from GFPropertySection. Using the properties view I can e.g. change the name of an object (PictogramElement) in the diagram. However I'm unable to get undo/redo working correctly.
Undo / Redo menu items are enabled when the diagram has focus; in this case they work as expected and I can undo / redo changes in the diagram.
However if the property section has focus then the undo /redo menu items become disabled.
Hope anyone could help me out.

Gerard,

in principle this should be possible, however I have not tried that myself.

Basic condition is that the editor and the property sheet both use the same editing domain. What you probably need to do is register actions plus eventually the menu items and connect them to trigger the undo/redo of the editor. Not sure how to achieve that in detail, but that's at least a sketch of what I'd try to do.

HTH,
Michael
