Set name of a created element [message #500931]

Hi!

I manually create an element and its view by invoking

CreateViewRequestFactory.getCreateShapeRequest()

and the associated command. This works fine.

After that I want to set the name of this element by this:

ElementNameEditPart elementNameEditPart = (ElementNameEditPart) createdEditPart;

elementNameEditPart.setLabelText("new one");

First, this works so that the created element gets the name but after saving and reloading the diagram the name disappears though the element is visible.

Has somebody a clue?

regards

Hi again.

I've worked out a solution. It looks like this:


EditPart createdEditPart = ... ; // previously created EditPart

ElementImpl el = (ElementImpl)createdEditPart.resolveSemanticElement();

editor.getDiagramEditDomain().getDiagramCommandStack().execute(
						new Command() {
							@Override
							public void execute() {
								super.execute();
                                                                el.setName("new name...");
							}
						}
				);

Maybe this helps anyone with similar problems.

regards
