Dynamic Figure at runtime [message #696226]

Hi,

I want to set the figure dynamically at runtime. I use the following code to do so:

IFigure customFig = generateCustomFigure();

children.clear();
figure.getChildren().clear();
		
customFig.setParent(figure);
figure.getChildren().add(customFig);

refresh();
refreshVisuals();
performRequest(new Request(RequestConstants.REQ_REFRESH));

This shows my custom figure but does not remove the compartments of the edit part. At least the + and - buttons stay. How can I get rid of them? I want to have the edipart change its complete figure when a user selects an entry from the context menu.

Thanks,

Ralph

Hi,

I found out that there is a difference between

children.clear();

//Clear all child editparts
while (children.size() > 0)
removeChild((EditPart)children.get(0));

The later one also removes the compartments.
