Attach Other Figures/EditParts to an Edge [message #1787648]

Hello,
I have already asked it on GMF forum but no one replied, so I thought some people here may konw.

Currently, labels are attached to the connections/edges, which allows the user to see a link when moving the label around (see below). Now, assume that I have a figure or editpart which I want to attach it to a connection. Is there any way to do that by either attaching the editpart to the connection other than setting a figure as the label of the connection ?
index.php/fa/32879/0/

Thanks.
Regards,
Parsa

Hi Parsa,

Do you want to make the attachement displayed only while moving the attached figure ?

If your modeler is based on Sirius, as indicated in https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/specifier/diagrams/Diagrams.html#edges :
Quote:

Note that it is possible to have edges whose source or target is another edge, but not both.

So you might define an additional EdgeMapping to represent this attachment.

Thanks a lot Maxime,

I like that there is always a solution for everything. I keep it as a potential solution cuz I didn't really want the edge to be visible, but if I set its size to zero then it is kind of OK. I assume it is either setting an edge or setting the label figure to make it happen.

Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Parsa
