Executing directEdit request on EditOart after its creation [message #690023]

Hello everyone.
I want to be able to execute direct editing of a label in an EditPart's Figure right after the figure is added to the diagram, as follows:
1) user selects the "Add Figure" tool from the pallete,
2) user clicks on the diagram and a new figure is created (this works already).
3) the application enables the direct editing of the figure's label automatically.
I've been reading the forum and searching the internet but haven't seen this done. Any help?
thanks

Take a look at DirectEditPolicy, it is used to enable direct editing of an EditPart when it is added/created.

You basically need to extend this (abstract) class by filling the abstract methods:

getDirectEditCommand() to provide the actual command to perform the modification/edit.
showCurrentEditValue() to update the figure with the 'current value', so the 'cell editor' is able to use the correct dimensions.

Install the policy using

installEditPolicy(EditPolicy.DIRECT_EDIT_ROLE, new MyDirectEditPolicy());

in the createEditPolicies() method of your EditPart.
