Chaging the current object in a property sheet [message #414816]

Hi,

I have an editor with two pages and I would like the property sheet to
change the object it is showing depending on the page that is being
displayed.

I figure all I need to do is to point the property sheet to the given object
when the page is made active but I cannot find any way at the moment of
making the property sheet point to the given EObject.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Regards
Jose

Jose,

The default generated editor does exactly this so it's probably good to
have a close look at how it works.

Hi Ed,

There seems to be some disconnect between the UI forms and EMF editor
hierarchy but I have managed to get the UI forms working with EMF by adding
my form page directly as a page in the editor. I am not sure whether this is
the correct way of doing things though.

Would you be able to tell me whether a viewer pane still needs to be used
when adding forms to the editor or adding the form directly as a page is Ok?

Thanks

Jos

Jose,

Viewer panes are just a convenience. In the end, you can change the
generated editor in whatever way works best for you. The EcoreEditor,
for example, doesn't use ViewerPanes.
