Using MyItemProvider commands in my editors [message #508601]

Hi,

Here's another question about the ItemProvider that come generated for free with my model.

I know that the ItemProvider generated for my domain objects provides me a way to customize the display of my domain object. I also know that those ItemProvider provides commands for adding, deleting, modifying my domain. I can also override the commands creation defined in the ItemProviderAdapter parent.

My problem is that outside of the generated editor I really don't know how I can't use those commands by binding them to my owns menus items and buttons.

My goal is still to manipulate my domain objects in a centralized way using the same reusable EMF edit commands.

Can you give me some examples on how I can connect ItemProvider built-in commands in my own code (from a button click as an example)?

Regards
Pierre

Pierre,

Have a look at the actions in org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui's action package
and look at how they're used in other parts of the EMF SDK.
