[Resolved] Sirius Open Dialog [message #1768980]

Hi there,

I am currently trying to implement an Open Dialogue in container creation.

I first create an Instance (for the container) that I need, then I add an Open Dialogue.

I can manage the Cancel button (to simply remove the instance created) and the OK button (currently it does nothing).

I then add some "text" widget to the dialogue.

My question is, how you do extract the input in the text widget to set the properties of the instance with the inputs?

Cheers,
Will

Hello,

The Open Dialog operation is used to edit a model and it is not expected (yet at least) to access its values/result afterward. Therefore, you should set the properties with a set operation in the OK button.

Hi Steve,

Thanks, so if I create the instance in the first place, how do you edit the properties using text widgets?

Cheers,
Will

Hi,

In the "Create Instance" operation, there is a "variable name" field. If you add your Open Dialog operation under it, this variable will be accessible.

Hi Steve,

I am wonder how you'd access the input in the dialog, suppose i have a text field which asks the user for the "name" property of the instance. How do I access the input that the user enters?

Cheers,
Will

Hello,

You can access it with the variable created by the previous "create instance" operation declared by the field "variable name".

Steve

Hi Steve,

I am afraid you are not answering my question.

So I create an instance and then I open a dialog. With the dialog I create a text widget: name. This text widget should get the user input and set the name of the instance to the user input.

I know how to access the instance created. My question is, how do you access the user input?

Hope this is clear to you.

Cheers,
Will

Hi William,

In a Sirius tool, we are always working with the variables accessible starting with self, the current semantic element. In your situation, you just need to create a new instance and then open a dialog containing a page and a group. Once you are on the group, you can use a text widget to edit the value of the property name of the newly created instance.

For a more detailed version, have a look at those screenshots and the final result in video

Stephane Begaudeau, Obeo
