With a couple of tweaks the PropertySheetForm already looks better than
the default properties view!
So to take it to the next level, would like create customized forms for
each of my model elements. Thinking of implementing something like
public interface IPropertiesFormProvider {
void fillPropertiesFolder(IStructuredSelection structuredSelection,
CTabFolder cTabFolder);
}
on each of the model ItemProviders.
And to also create something like an
AdapterFactoryPropertiesFormProvider which would be similar to our
org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.provider.AdapterFactoryContentProvid er.
Does this make sense?
Thanks for any input.
kind regards,

John,
It makes sense, but...
The "but" is because the item providers themselves are designed to be
platform independent. They contain no references to SWT or JFace and
can function stand-alone without non-EMF libraries. So we've always
taken the approach of describing what's needed. I'm not sure how this
will all pan out. I'm hoping Jim and Yves Yang will get involved:

Yep - just thinking that as well.
I guess one would have to come up with some facade for a CTabFolder to
abstract out the swt dependencies.

Been watching it - think their work will bring to EMF a new set of
modeling enthusiasts.
Guess I'll just hack something up in the mean time and wait for the gui
modeling tools to emerge.
