How can I use selection wizard to select from a list of String? [message #1822948]

Hi,
I'm trying to use a selection wizard to choose the name of a component, and all the available names are saved in a config file which are all in the type of String. I see that the Candidate Expression property in the Selection Wizard mentioned that this expression should return a Collection of EObjects, but unfortunately String type is not an EObject. So I wonder is there any way I can put a list of String in the Selection Wizard's Candidates Expression without a great performance loss?
Thanks so much for any advice.

Hello,

The selection wizard (and other tool) are expecting model elements, you will have trouble to display information coming from a file that is not in the Sirius session (your config file). I think you either need to import the content of the config file as model elements, or have an action/button that open a custom dialog that process your config file.

Best regards,
Steve
