Hi,

I know I can control the style based on a UML or stereotype property of the object to which the style is applicable.

e.g.
Class[isAbstract=true]

Can the style be controlled by a property of another element than the style is applied to?

e.g.
Class[Model::PackageA::ClassC::isAbstract=true]

Hi Patrik,

It is not possible to write complex selectors with CSS (i.e. model or properties navigation is not supported). The only alternative is to write custom properties, using one of the (internal) extension points in Papyrus. See https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1107156/

But this needs to be done when defining the language; it can't be done on a per-model basis.
HTH,
Camille

Hi Camille,

Hope all is well.

What if I update update the a stereotype property programmatically, will the 'styles framework' listen for such changes and update the style application accordingly?
