Using EditingDomainActionBarContributor in a view [message #424433]

I want to create a TreeView that will use the EditingDomain and
EditingDomainActionBarContributor. The issue I can not figure out is
how to initialize the EditingDomainActionBarContributor.
The init(IAationBars, IWorkbenchPage) requiers that the IActionBars will
be the Main menu and I do not know how to get it from inside a view.

Can some one help me?
Or is there a better way to get the EditingDomain to work in a view?

Thanks
Yigal

It expects to be used with an IEditorPart.

I've never tried to get editing working in a view that isn't associated
with an editor like the outline view.

I think you need something like EditingDomainActionBarContributor but
one that doesn't assume it's for an editor but only for a view. I
don't see anything like IViewActionBarContributor though, so I'm not
sure what to suggest.

Maybe someone else has ideas...

Ed,
How do you implement the EMF Command stack in a view?
I want to create a simple view that allows adding and deleting EOjects
from the model (I wrote it by using wizards that fill the data).
I wanted to use the automated command stack of EditingDomain, but
looking at the editor code, I see it uses the
EditingDomainActionBarContributor to switch the UNDO/REDO actions and stack.
Did anyone implemented it not in an Editor?
How do you use the EMF command stack on a view?

Thanks
Yigal

Methods like AdapterFactoryEditingDomain.getEditingDomainFor can find
the editing domain associated with the resource set.

Is that a view associated with an editor?

Yes.

I wonder about that too. I haven't. I imagine that folks working on
common navigator stuff might have.

Well, an AdapterFactoryEditing you can just create, it's how to hook it
up to the context menu you're wanting to know about, and I have no
experience with how to do that in a view. Hopefully someone does.

Hi Yigal,

I have implemented something similar into my (TreeViewer) view. I am using
all the EMF edit UI *Actions to undo, redo, delete, copy etc. my model
objects. (I also had a implementation where I also used the create child
and create sibling actions, but this is not working for my
implementation). It was not hard to get it working if you already have
your editing domain instance inside your view (I inject it with the help
of Spring DM, but you can also get it as Ed suggested). The rest was only
some copy and paste from the EditingDomainActionBarContributor source
class.

I am using only the web interface of this newsgroup so I have no chance to
attach my source file. Just write me a short mail to
matthias.treitler@gmail.com and I will send it to you. Maybe I can also
past the source to this post...

Matthias
