disable save [message #496805]

Hi,

how mayI disable the save action (due to sematically check state)? I
trie to use an own
DiagramGlobalActionHandler#canSave(IGlobalActionContext), that is
registered by an own GlobalActionHandlerProvider replacing the default
registered one. But it does not effects the proper save action.

I need to prevent save before the model got a valid state.

Thanks in advance,
Sven

<extension
point=" org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.action.globalActi onHandlerProviders "
id="global-actions">
<?gmfgen generated="true"?>
<GlobalActionHandlerProvider
class="xyz....DiagramGlobalActionHandlerProviderExt"
id="0815Presentation">
<Priority name="Lowest"/>
<ViewId id="xyz....model.pkg.diagram.part.XYZDiagramEditorID">
<ElementType
class=" org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.editparts.IGraphicalEditP art ">

<ElementType
class=" org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.editparts.DiagramEditPart ">
<GlobalActionId actionId="save"/>
</ElementType>
</ViewId>
</GlobalActionHandlerProvider>
....
</extension>

publix class DiagramGlobalActionHandlerProviderExt extends
AbstractGlobalActionHandlerProvider {
....
public IGlobalActionHandler getGlobalActionHandler(final
IGlobalActionHandlerContext context) {
...
getHandlerList().put(context.getActivePart(), new
DiagramGlobalActionHandlerExt());
.... }
}
.... }

public class DiagramGlobalActionHandlerExt extends
DiagramGlobalActionHandler {
protected boolean canSave(IGlobalActionContext cntxt) {
return super.canSave(cntxt) && checkState(cntx);
}
}

Hello Sven,

Try overriding doSave() method in generated ???DiagramEditor.

Hi Alex,

that's what I'm doing right now to prevent save execution, but the
action is still enabled. So it suggests the user he can save, but
nothing happens. That is a poor usability case. So would like to show
the user that he can not save right at the save action state.

Hi Sven,

If I was the user, I'd prefer to have the button enabled and to get a message when I try to save, telling me why it's not allowed at the moment, and what I need to do to resolve the problem.
Disabling the button without providing information about why I can't save my document sounds like poor usability too.

Regards, Peter
