Hello Experts,

I am trying to select a model element in the sphinx editor and getting it in focus.

For this I did some ground work and understood that a model element can be selected in Sphinx editor with the following piece of code (below code is from
ModelSearchResultView.java of Sphinx editor plugin)

With the below code element is selected but it is not Focused. In a case where the model size is more --> it is really had to search which element is selected (when the element is not focused)

It will be of great help if someone can let me know how to get the selected element in Focus

	private void selectElement( EObject element){

		final URIEditorInput input = EcoreUIUtil.createURIEditorInput(element.eResource());
		if (null != input) {
			final IWorkbenchPage page = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
			IEditorInput editorInput = null;
			 
				editorInput = EcoreUIUtil.createURIEditorInput(element.eResource());
		 
			IEditorPart part1;
			try {
				part1 = page.openEditor(editorInput, "org.itea2.amalthea.sphinx.ui.editor", true);
				if (part1 instanceof BasicTransactionalFormEditor) {
					((BasicTransactionalFormEditor) part1).setSelectionToViewer(Collections.singleton(element));
				}
			} catch (PartInitException e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
			}  
			
		}
	
	}

In the above code, I found that there is an error -> as editor is opened again and due to this reason focus is lost.

Solution for my above query is : instead of opening editor, get the active instance of editor from the workbench -> active page and set the selection of specific element in the viewer. using below code:

((BasicTransactionalFormEditor) part1).setSelectionToViewer(Collections.singleton(element));
