Create automatically link between nodes [message #499882]

Hi,

following situation: I have a context menu for my diagram where I select an already existing instance of node type A and when the 'OK' button is pressed an instance of node type B is automatically created.

Now, I would like to have a line be drawn automatically between instance of type A and the newly created instance of type B.

GMF offers those so called design links. I have already tried to create a design link between the two nodes, but it didn't work since I couldn't select a source/target for the link.

Now my question is how to create a design link automatically between the two nodes via context menu? Or does anybody have a better idea to get a similar solution?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
stoehm

Hi Stoem,

did you look into the CreateRelationShipCommand and CreateRelationshipRequest classes? It seems to me that thoses are the classes that are responsible for creating your line.

Best regards,
Artur
