Hi all,

I am developping an editor with gmf. Anyone know if it is possible to change the initial position of an object when created ?

The default behavior when user click on the diagram is to create it under cursor location. I want be able to put this object in the top left hand corner.

Any idea? Should the parent specify it ? or in objet creation policy?

Thx

Fab

Hi Fab,

have a look at the generated XXXCreateCommand of the figure in question. Look for the emthod called doConfigure(). That's the one you want to change. Don't forget to change the Javadoc comment to "@generated NOT".

Hi,

Thx for reply. I didn't find how to modify this method so I overide the activate() method of the XXXEditPart. Now it's working but not during creation. Only if the editor is refresh, by reopen or create subdiagram.

Any how idea of to force this refresh?

Thx

Fab
