Hello
I've create an editpart that has a number of child editparts.
The parent editpart creates a figure that extends from a rectanglefigure and
adds a label in top of the rectangle.
The child figures should be inside the parent, and aligned right, right
under the parentlabel:
+-------------+
| Label |
| |
| child |
| child |
| child |
+-------------+
My problem is that I can't get the positioning / alignment done properly. I
get something that looks like:
+-------------+
| child |
| child |
| child |
| Label |
+-------------+
If somone could tell me where I should specify the layout, I'd appreciate
it.
Thanks.

Actually, that is what I understood. The label is getting pushed down to
the bottom in refreshChildren because it is a sibling of the children
editparts' figures. Your container edipart must consist of 3 separate
figures, one for the editpart, one for the label, and one to contain the
children editparts.
+Figure in ToolbarLayout
|-Label

| - figure from second child editpart

Ok I understand that, but what I don't understand is where and how I can
add() a child to the figure with toolbar layout
I create a figure in createFigure(), and gef does some magic, so there's no
way of adding the figure to another figure instead of the figure I return in
createFigure()

create a field in your graphicaleditpart subclass called contentsPane. in
createFigure, hold onto the contentsPane. override getContentsPane to return
the contentsPane field.

Ah thanks for explaining. I also found the same code in the logic example.
