Hi there,
I generated an editor from my ecore-model and it works very well. From time to time it can happen that by choosing "create child" I get very long lists of possible items. These lists are correct but sometimes half the list is greyed-out. Too improve usability I want to get rid of these unclickable items. Is there an easy way to implement this? Is there any tutorial that shows how that can be done?
Thanks!

Kai

Kai,

It's not generally considered good design to take such an approach. You
could look into how the action bar contributor processes the child
descriptors to specialize it.
