Set/arrange the sub container programmatically [message #1802497]

Hi all,

In Sirius I am creating first child containers of the diagram programmatically. After creating the containers, if I create inside containers by palette in diagram the container will not insert properly. It shows as below

index.php/fa/34854/0/

Can I know the task I need to perform programmatically after creation of elements to create the sub elements in proper arrangement?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

My guess is that "ParentContainer" has a fixed size, so when you create the child at a relative position which is outside of its' visible area, the parent does not grow but gains a scroll bar so that you can scroll its viewport to see the child.

If that is not what you want, "ParentContainer" should be configured in "Auto-Size" mode (with width and height set to -1) so that it will automatically adjust its size to accomodate any child created inside of it without needing scrollbars.

Regards,

Thanks Pierre,

I created "Parent Container" programmatically so I should configure Auto-size programmatically. I could not set height and width to -1 as I am getting the object as its class object(ParentContainerImpl). I am not getting that as 'DNodeContainerEditPart'. Can I get the DNodeContainerEditPart from the semantic class? How to get the newly created editpart?
