EditHelperAdvice not triggered [message #530681] Fri, 30 April 2010 14:08 Go to next message

Hi,

I've extended the element type registry with a few entries looking something like below:

<specializationType
      id="myId"
      name="myName"
      kind="org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.util.INotationType "
      edithelperadvice="com.mycompany.MyTypeEditHelperAdvice">
   <specializes id="org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.type.core.null"/>
   <param name="semanticHint" value="myName"/>
</specializationType>


I use the INotationType kind not to affect the semantic model and specialize org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.type.core.null to add a completely new element to the picture. It does not seem like the edithelperadvice is beeing consulted? Could this be the case? If so, is this becasue it is a notational element only and that the edithelperadvice is only consulted for changes to the semantic model?

What is the best way to add limitations on how I can connect my new symbols? Do I use edithelperadvices, editpolicies or something else?

Br,
Pettax

Let me answer myself for the record.

I now use a combination of a GraphicalNodeEditPolicy (installed on the edit parts I want to affect) and a ModelingAssistantProvider.
