Ordering of model elements based on position [message #63774]

Tue, 17 October 2006 06:50

Hi All,

I was wondering if there is a GMF by which one can control the occurence
of model element based on the postion of the notational element in the
diagram file.

For ex:

Assume form with id "ABC" was added first and then "def" was added. The
model file is generated as follows;

<vxml>
<form id="ABC"/>
<form id="def"/>
</vxml>

Now if the first form is deleted and added again I still want the order to
be same. How can I achieve this?

Can someone please help me with this.

Thanks & regards
Balraj

Hi All,

I was wondering if there is a way in GMF by which one can control the
occurence of model element based on the position of the notational element
in the diagram file.

For ex:

Assume form with id "ABC" was added first and then "def" was added. The
model file is generated as follows;

<vxml>
<form id="ABC"/>
<form id="def"/>
</vxml>

Now if I want to reorder the elements in the model file by exchanging the
positions of the form with id "ABC" with id "def" model should now be
generated as follows:

<vxml>
<form id="def"/>
<form id="ABC"/>
</vxml>

Is there a way to do this?

Can someone please help me with this.

Thanks & regards
Balraj

Ordering within your domain model is not GMF's job. If you care only about
visual representation, check notation.SortingStyle.

Hi Artem,

Thanks for your reply. I understand this may not be possible from the GMF
framework. But If I intent to handle it programmatically is it possible?
If yes How can I go about it.

Thanks

Best Regards
Balraj

Almost everything is possible ;) To help with "how" it would be great to
know "what" first. Reordering visual elements or domain?
