I use the new Sirius property views for my editor, I have seen that the input.emfEditServices(self).getEStructuralFeatures() allows to get all the references except transient, derived and contaiment features.

However, there is a particular case where I need to display my containment feature in the property views.

How can I do that?

Regards,

Aurélien

Hi,

input.emfEditServices(self) is just a helper for easy access to common queries and EMF Edit integration (access to the IItemLabelProvider & co). In an interpreted expression in your properties views definitions, you have access to all the AQL language, so you can create expressions like this:

aql:self.eClass().eAllStructuralFeatures->select(f | f.containment)

or any variant. Note however that this kind of "meta-level" query is needed for the default rules (where you probably found the expression you mention) because they must be written to be completely generic. In concrete cases where you know the metamodel you may not need that and can simply refer to the actual concrete feature(s) you are interested in (e.g. aql:self.myFeature).

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. Before posting the message i tried with 'aql:self.eClass().eAllStructuralFeatures' just to see if I could see the containment that way.

My mistake was that I had redefined the default properties in two differents odesign. However, it seems that only one of them was used (and I was modifying the other Confused

I don't know if it was because the second odesign was wrong or not).

Anyway, thanks for you answer, it helped me a lot to solve my problem and to understand what was the point of this 'emfEditServices'.

Regards,

Aurélien
