Hi,
I am trying to make Direct Edit of my figure to open a Dialog when user
clicks on the label.
Is this possible? I am at a one where a Dialog (shell) does show up but it
disappears and it said "widget is disposed" in the direct edit manager.

Thanks for any feedback.

You're probably trying to access the CellEditor after the dialog is opened. DirectEditManager
commits the current cell editor value when it loses focus (like when your dialog opens) and then the
cell editor is disposed. What is the dialog for? I'm not sure why you'd need a cell editor if
you're going to open a dialog for editing.

Here is what I want my Direct Edit to work:
- when user click on a label, it opens up a small panel of Check boxes, and
user able to click more than one of those check boxes and my direct edit
manager will build a new string based on the user selection of those boxes.

So I am thinking my direct edit manager will open a small shell which
contains those checkboxes, and a button for user to close that shell. After
the dialog is closed , I will re-set the string value of the label.

Do you think this is a right approach?

how should I implement my direct edit so that it pops up a shell when the
label is doubled clicked?

what classes I need to create? Do I need my own DriectEditrManager? but no
cell editor?
Thanks.

Yes, I believe DirectEditManager is designed to work with a JFace CellEditor
only. If you want to popup a shell, create some other helper class,
probably a subclass of JFace's Dialog.
