Hi,
Suppose, I want to be able to add children to a rectangle which is
nested into another rectangle. Normally, this is not possible, as the
contentPane is always the parent rectangle. In order to make is possible
I am doing this in the editpart:
(I override getContentPane to return a child rectangle, produced with a
child access).
public IFigure getContentPane() {
if (contentPane != null) {
if(contentPane instanceof CabinetFigure){
return ((CabinetFigure)contentPane).getFigureSubrackContainer();
}
}
return super.getContentPane();
}
Is this somehow possible with GMF Tooling? I noticed, a Node has a
property named: Content Pane. Setting this to a child access to a nested
rectangle, doesn't seem to change the generated edit part.
Thanks, Christophe Bouhier

Thanks Mickael, I try to avoid containments. I have no requirements for
collapsible, and even if I turn it off, I will have limited options for
layouts. (As containments only support a ListLayout or a XYLayout).
