Custom edit parts and 'appearance' and 'style' properties [message #1742464]

Hi!

I am developing a tool with sirius. As part of our solution, we are creating custom edit parts and figures. We need, for example, to display two labels per node as well as custom shapes.

When I use default shapes, all the properties for appearance e.g. font size and colour are available. However, with my custom styles, this is not the case.

Is this an inherent loss of functionality? Or can clever subclassing help me here? My edit parts extend AbstractNotSelectableShapeNodeEditPart and my figures extend AirStyleDefaultSizeNodeFigure.

Hi

First remark: the property view is updated at selection change. Consequently, your EditPart must be selectable or part of a selectable one.
You can try to create an editPart inheriting from ShapeNodeEditPart for example.

There is an example of custom edit part in UML Designer [1] that may help you
