Hello,
I just try to develop an editor based on JFace-Databinding. For this I
need to know if an Binding is dirty or not (DirtyState), to save my
Editor, if changes are detected.
But I do not know where to get this(DirtyState) information.
I found a Bug (ID 119791). Is there a workaround on that or is ist still
not working ?
Maybe Andrey Tarantsov can tell me more about it ?
Thanks
Andreas

My guess would be that you need something outside of the data binding
framework (think about Undo/Redo) but for now, if you would like to know if
there have been any changes in the UI at all, you could have a look at the
logic in WizardPageSupport and how it hooks generic change listeners on all
target observables in a data binding context.
As for the bug, it hasn't been updated (with technical discussion) in over a
year, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Boris,
Of course if he were using EMF's data binding integration that you
mostly wrote, the updates would use EMF.Edit's command stack and not
only would that provide dirty state tracking, but it would also support
undo...

At current, we have registered a Convertor in our UpdatePolicy, to
convert a String , given in a TextBox, to an Boolean ("true" => true,
everything else => false) and vice versa.
But the Observers only provide the "real" value, which means the
unconverted String from the textbox. The Binding, the binding context
nor the events provide the converted value. Is there any other place to
look for the converted value, during an ValueChanged or an ListChanged
event ?

When I want easy access to the converted value, I usually chain two
bindings, with a shared observable in the middle:
Text text = ...
IObservableValue target = SWTObservables.observeText(text, SWT.Modify);
IObservableValue convertedTarget = new WritableValue();
Bean bean = ...
IObservableValue value = BeansObservables.observeValue(bean, "value");
dbc.bindValue(convertedTarget, value, null, null);
dbc.bindValue(target, convertedTarget, targetToModelStrategy,
modelToTargetStrategy);
