Ahoy folks,
I've got a GMF-generated graphical Editor. A special Node of my Model,
which can be added to a diagram, has a reference to the root of another
diagram. (like having a Sequence(Diagram A) that has a reference/call of
a subsequence(Diagram B) somewhere in its flow).
Does anyone know if it is possible to exchange the node of Diagram A
that has this reference by a read-only part which contains all the nodes
of Diagram B triggered by an Action? Read-only at first is optional, but
should be possible later on.
______ _________
| | | |
| Node | |DiagramB |
| in | ---> | (read- |
|Diag A| | only) |
|______| |_________|
Thanks in advance for any hints or help

Hi Christian,
I'm sorry to tell you that I haven't managed this yet, because I had
more urgent work to do. Maybe I'll get to this tomorrow; if I'll get
something useful, I'll tell you for sure.
For now I don't really have an idea how to achieve this. Maybe we could
exchange knowledge.
I'll start right here:
I was thinking of two ways to achieve displaying sub-diagrams in a diagram.
1. As I only need to display read-only-sub-diagrams, I was thinking of
just changing the figure of the sub-diagram-call-Node by a figure that
contains an image of the sub-diagram. Therefor images of diagrams should
be held as files or generated when needed with the build-in
print-diagram-method (most convenience method if diagrams change very
often).
2. As I have the reference to the sub-diagram the nodes of the diagram
could be taken from the modelfile and pasted into the currentDiagram
(!those nodes would have change-access, so that the user could change
the sub-diagram too. This is what I don't want!!)
If you have other ideas about this theme, please let me know.

All,
I'll be looking into this soon as well.
My idea is to use a Compartment, when expanded you view the sub-diagram.
I'd still want to be able to perform limited diagram editing at this point,
properties
and geometry, but no access to the sub-diagram's palette commands.
Cheers,
Roy
