Scrollbars not update when moving element off screen [message #530407] Thu, 29 April 2010 15:13 Go to next message

Hi all,

In my editor, when I move or resize an element off the currently
displayed screen to the right or bottom, the scrollbars are not updated,
and it is not possible to see the element at its new position.

I notice that this does not seem to be a problem in the examples which
update the scrollbars even as the element is being dragged prior to the
actual drop.

How can I solve this?

Unlike the examples, I use a ScalableRootEditPart instead of a
ScalableFreeformRootEditPart, as my model does not allow negative
co-ordinates. I wonder if this is the source of the problem?

Thanks in advance...

Matt D.

What figure do you use? Maybe you need a FreeformLayer?

Hi Phil,

I use a ScalableRootEditPart. The figure used then would be the one
created by the createFigure() method of this class, which then uses
createLayers(). Should I create a subclass and override this to add a
FreeformLayer?

The API for anything Freeform suggests that this is for situations where
objects can have negative X and Y co-ordinates. I don't want this.

ScalableRootEditPart does use a Viewport, and when I move objects, the
method Viewport.readjustScrollBars() is called, but the values never
change. I'm now investigating why that is. I may try using a
FreeformLayer though. Where would I do this?

Funnily enough, if I comment out the line where I use a
ScalableRootEditPart to use a ScalableFreeformRootEditPart instead, none
of my model objects appear. I'm not sure why that is.

// viewer.setRootEditPart(new ScalableRootEditPart());
viewer.setRootEditPart(new ScalableFreeformRootEditPart());

Actually, I mean the figure of your root diagram model Edit Part, the
one that represents the root of you model, the diagram.

The root object of my model used to extend Layer. I changed it to extend
FreeformLayer instead, but that didn't fix it.
