Hi,
I would like someone to comment on a very high-level problem:
What are (if they exist) the guidelines and recommendations for nested
editing?
I am building an application based on a single EMF-based model.
Among other things this model includes a lot of text fragments edited
using a custom TextEditor derivative.
These Text fragments are saved and retrieved in the model as strings (I
do not have separate files).
I have an editor based on Forms toolkit for the whole application.
In particular I have a master/detail page and several specific views.
The TextEditor is currently in the appropriate details page.
This is suboptimal, however, because I'm forced to save/restore each
time the master selection changes, while It would be much better to have
the possibility to keep several (not all!) of the text fragment open at
the same time.
I would like to have an effect just like a java project with several
editors for java code, manifest, etc. My master block (based on a
TreeView) should have the same function as the Package Explorer.
Difference is I have just one big XML file containing all data.
How can I do something like that?
I tried adding custom pages to the multipage editor, but I'm
reimplementing a lot of logic to close the pages, save them, etc. etc. I
suspect there is some easier way.
Can someone help me, please?
TiA
Mauro
