Move and Create Request [message #643710]

I have a model that contains two Nodes.

NodeA and NodeB.

NodeB has a compartment that NodeA can be placed in.

I want to be able to click the tool for NodeB draw around a NodeA and have that Node added to the new NodeB during the create.

I have tried overriding the configure command and in the SematicEdit policy of the diagram overriding the CreateViewAndElementCommand such that it adds the diagram elements that are within the dragged area as parameters to the request.

This all works fine. I then return a MoveCommand within the getConfigure command. This also seems to move the elements correctly however, the View for the NodeA element appears on both the diagram and within the NodeB compartment.

Ideas?

Hello,

All of the edit helper commands work only on the semantic level, so moving the element itself does not automatically removes the view from the old location.

But if you already passing the diagram elements as request parameters, you may simply chain the MoveCommand with the DeleteCommand for the old view and remove it explicitly.

Regards,
Michael
