Custom Label Provider [message #1822290]

Hello,

I was in need on creating a list of EObjects based on the list of strings, so therefore I used the following code for 'converting' a string to an EObject.

SimpleAnyType wrapper = XMLTypeFactory.eINSTANCE.createSimpleAnyType();
wrapper.setInstanceType(EcorePackage.eINSTANCE.getEString());
wrapper.setValue(myString);

Is there a way in which I can override the LabelProvider for this specific type? More explicitly I would probably need to customize the getText method from the ReflectiveItemProvider class.

I tried to play around with the org.eclipse.emf.edit.itemProviderAdapterFactories extension, but I didn't managed to get it work. I guess I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what exactly.

Thank you!

Kind Regards,

Alexandra

The reflective item provider adapter factory is generally created in the generated editor:

    adapterFactory.addAdapterFactory(new ReflectiveItemProviderAdapterFactory());

You'd have to specialize starting there. It can't be done via any registration because there is no specialized EClass involved, though perhaps providing one for http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2003/XMLType might also do the trick.
