Adding Object to a line [message #78313]

Folks,

I have a need to do something like the following:

I have two blocks connected with a line
Right click on a line and add a property
That results in something (like a marker) being added to the line
I can connect a line to that something (marker) and to another block.

Any ideas ?
Can GMF do this ?

I was thinking that adding property to line resulted in connection port
being added to line...possible ?

Thanks.

Alan,

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be possible to accomplish this
with the GMF Runtime. Your marker needs to be an INodeEditPart to allow
connections to be created to it. It could be located on the connection
similar to how connection labels are located (i.e. with a locator).
This marker could be a child of the connection, so the connection could
add a new child when it gets an event that the property has been added.

I might be able to answer more specific questions about this if you have
them.

Regards,
Cherie
