Hi,

i try to programmaticaly change the size and the location of a specific diagram element while the diagram is opened in a editor. For this i use a Recording Command and the setLayoutContraints method of nodes. Sadly if the command get executed the whole Eclipse ide freezes, it looks like a Deadlock occurs if the transaction of the changes should be commited. Does anyone got a idea how to avoid this?

For any advice i would be thankful
Sebastian

Hi,

If you intend to make a fonctionality of your own to make some layout on you diagram elements, the best wat i see would be to add a tool in your palette and then the code would be executed in proper condition. (Just do a tool with changecontext operation that will just call a service : aql:self->DoMyJob)
