How to disable the remove? [message #730593]

Hi,

I'm creating a graphical editor using graphiti. My users find confusing the distinction between "delete" and "remove". Accordingly, I would like to provide the "delete" functionality only. Since their models are simple, the idea is to keep in sync the model and its graphical representation... if you can see it, it is in the model.

How can I do that?

Thanks,
Matteo

See my answer here:

Perhaps this should be in the FAQ...

Hi,

you can also subclass the DiagramEditor to replace the method in the internal diagram editor that creates the context menu.

Thanks,

at the end, I used the solution proposed by Hernan...
Before asking, I tried to disable the remove, but I experienced some issues with the delete! His solution correctly re-activates the remove feature when a delete is invoked... nice! Smile

Now I have another small question... How can I insert the "new" elements in the diagram?

Thanks again,
Matteo
