Hi

I am building a Form Editor and would like one of the pages to be the
graphical editor.

Is there an example on how to do this?

Solution

Starting from the RCP of the generated GMF edtior:

Add the Coommon Navigator framework in order to test opening and
creating files.

Creeate a new form editor and add the contributer class, matching
strategy and the extension from the GMF edtior difinition.

Follow the following from the article "Integrating EMF and GMF Generated
Editors":

Wrapp the FileEditorInput as described in the section "Editor Input,
revised"

add the getWrappedInput() as explained in the section "Extending the
Editor Input" to your FormEdtior subclass and add the GMF page using:

edtior = new YourDiagramEditor();
IEditorInput input = getWrappedInput();
pageIndex = addPage(edtior, input);

and at least it will show in the page.

Still to implement the saving and dirty states but this will get you
started.
