Reuse of a Dialog in properties view [message #1785368]

I have an Edit button next to a list that opens a dialog to edit details of the selected item.

I found in Sirius Specifier Manual / Properties View how to react on the double click in the list with:

aql:onClickEventKind='DOUBLE_CLICK'

So I defined an if statement with that condition.

Is it possible to reuse the whole existing dialog I defined for the Edit button?

Thanks
Yann

Hello,

Actually it is not possible to reuse a dialog defined in the VSM.

But if you want to reuse dialog content, depending on your need you can:
- Define a group once in a dialog and reuse it in the page of the other dialog. (recommended if your dialog has only one group)
- Create a Category, define your page with groups inside. In your dialogs, make the page extends the one defined in the category.
With this method the page defined in the category will be displayed in the properties view. But you can use the "Precondition expression" field with an expression that return 'false' (like aql:false) for the page defined in the category (1) and an expression that return 'true' (like aql:true) for the page defined in dialogs (2).

I never used before the extends feature, it seems easy. And thanks for the tip about playing with aql:true/false in precondition, sounds useful.
