hi,

I'm using a customized Version of the XMLDateControlSWTRenderer to make it look a little bit different and to add our own DatePicker.
Additionally i'm using a validation template to set a custom error color.

After upgrading to EMFForms 1.9 (from 1.7) I'm getting the following ClassCastException when builing the UI

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: Cannot cast org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text to org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite
	at java.lang.Class.cast(Class.java:3369) ~[na:1.8.0_74]
	at org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.spi.core.swt.renderer.TextControlSWTRenderer.setValidationColor(TextControlSWTRenderer.java:452) ~[na:na]

My Class P4XMLDateControlSWTRenderer extends from XMLDateControlSWTRenderer and creates the Controls in a similar way:

@Override
	protected Control createSWTControl(final Composite parent) {
		final Composite main = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);
		main.setBackground(parent.getBackground());
		GridLayoutFactory.fillDefaults().spacing(0, LayoutConstants.getSpacing().y).numColumns(2).applyTo(main);
		GridDataFactory.fillDefaults().grab(true, false).align(SWT.FILL, SWT.BEGINNING).applyTo(main);

		text = createTextControl(main);
		GridDataFactory.fillDefaults().grab(true, false).align(SWT.FILL, SWT.CENTER).applyTo(text);

		final Label calendarButton = new Label(main, SWT.BORDER);
		final Image image = P4Images.CATALOG_BUTTON.getEnabled();
		calendarButton.setImage(image);
		calendarButton.setData(CUSTOM_VARIANT, "org_eclipse_emf_ecp_control_xmldate"); //$NON-NLS-1$
		GridDataFactory.fillDefaults().applyTo(calendarButton);

		return main;
	}

	private Text createTextControl(final Composite parent) {
		final Text text = new Text(parent, getTextWidgetStyle());
		text.setData(CUSTOM_VARIANT, getTextVariantID());
		text.setMessage(getTextMessage());
		text.addFocusListener(new FocusListener() {
			@Override
			public void focusLost(final FocusEvent e) {
			}

			@Override
			public void focusGained(final FocusEvent e) {
				text.selectAll();
			}
		});
		return text;
	}


Any hints on what the problem could be are more than welcome.

cheers, peter

Hi Peter,

The problem is, that the setValidationColor method of the XMLDateControlSWTRenderer knows that the createSwtControl method creates a composite as a wrapper around the result from the super call and thus pulls out this result and uses it in the super call to the setValidationColor of the TextControlSWTRenderer.
Now in the setValidationColor of the TextControlSWTRenderer we also "know" that the renderer encapsulated the actual control we want the validation color on into a composite. Thus it also takes the first element of this composite.
In your case this assumptions do not hold true and thus you get a ClassCast exception as you only have one Composite.

So in your case you simply could overwrite the setValidationColor method like this, as you have the Text element as a member variable:
protected void setValidationColor(Control control, Color validationColor) {
text.setBackground(validationColor);
}

Cheers,
Eugen

Thanks for the information, that fixed it.

Pretty easy at the end, just haven't seen that!

Thank you very much, as always Wink

Cheers, Peter
