Missing properties in the Properties View [message #65488]

My GMF top-level object is called "Container", and can contain many
TopLevelObjects, each of which have a name attribute. I have a subclass of
TopLevelObject that has additional properties, but when I put one of these
objects on the stage, the only EMF property I can see in the Properties View
is "Name". Why is it that I can't see the properties for the concrete
subclasses, and how can I enable these properties for viewing?

Thanks,
Liam Morley

There's no special filtering for properties, property sheet generally
delegates to EMF's ItemProvider to get a list of all available properties.
I'd doublecheck that the instance of TopLevelObject is really of subclass
kind.

I double-checked by overriding "getName" in the subclass and verified that
it was called. It was, so these are definitely instances of the subclass.
Any other possible causes?

Are you sure that the Edit code is up to date and the attributes are set to
'editable' in the genmodel?
