Hi guys,
Is it possible to somehow use StyledText for the labels in the EMF generated editors. I would like to have different colors for the different labels and/or different parts of the labels (e.g. like in the OutlineView for a Java file, one can see:
getText(Object): String
where getText(Object) is in black color and String is in grey color)
I searched a lot and could not find any information about it, neither any example which had this feature. So I guess the answer is no, but as I believe that would significantly improve the visual representation of information, I decided to ask just in case.
Cheers,
Atanas

Hi Atanas,
you simply need to provide a "StyledLabelProvider" wrapping/extending
the generated AdapterFactory based one. There you have the freedom to
implement the IFontProvider, IColorProvider and what else interfaces as
your controls requires/supports. This styled label provider may know its
usage (e.g. outline, editor etc.). You can combine this strategie as
well with the CommonNavigators decoration technique.

We did this way in the emft.mtf project (former flowr.org) and provided
an extension point allowing the style customization for dedicated items
or usages (we named this usecase).
