Tree: How to cast from IStructuredSelection to Model objects? [message #460961]

Hi everybody,

i have a JFace tree which is displaying my model.

When a selection occurs within the Tree i want to get the type of the
object which the label of the Tree represents and then propagate this
selection to other views.

I therefore implemented the "selectionChanged" method.
The selections are already caught, but i donŽt know how i can cast the
IStructuredSelection back into the model objects they represents.

When i try something like this (similar to the MovingBox example in the
SWT articles):

Object domain = (MyModel) selection;

I get a "Error in JDT Core during reconcile" in the error log.

I donŽt know which object i have to cast the Selection to. Do i have to
use the same type i used for TreeViewer.setInput(type)???

Could anybody provide help or information or ideas?

Thanks a lot.
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

If you are only interested in the first selected object (e.g. because the
unedrlying Tree was initialized with SWT.SINGLE), you can do the following:
IStructuredSelection selection =
(IStructuredSelection)treeViewer.getSelection();
Object domain = selection.getFirstElemenet();

If you are interested in all selected elements, you'ld do
IStructuredSelection selection =
(IStructuredSelection)treeViewer.getSelection();
if (selection != null) for (Iterator it=selection.iterator();
it.hasNext();) {
Object domain = it.next();
// .. work with it
}

hope this helps,
Michael
