Hi everyone.

I am working on an editor where CreationEditPolicy was extended in order to cover some specific behaviour when the element is created.

Now, I want that whenever I select the respective tool from palette, and click in diagram to create the element, the editor ask me (via popup), if the elemente should or not be created.

My first action was to change a bit the method
getCreateElementAndViewCommand(CreateViewAndElementRequest request) {
inside CreationEditPolicy extension, however I can't decide where the change should go since this method is called many times when we click in diagram to create the element.
Note that It is called with requests with the same data.


Anyone knows why is this method invoked several times, and if I have other options to put my code.??

Thanks in advance
Rui

Hi,

I think that the method is called quite often because it is used to
calculate the feedback of the mouse.
What happens is probably that whenever you move the mouse, the diagram
computes a new feedback for the cursor by verificating whether the host
EditPart understand the request (by checking the result of
getCreateElementAndViewCommand).

Place a breakpoint on this method to see the invocation stack.

Hi. Firstly thanks for your answer.

Actually it's that. Whenever I move the mouse, the method is invokated.

Do you know where I can put my code. Some place being invokated once. Or some workaround.

Thanks again.
Rui

The request will turn into a command (that's what you experiment), and
then the command will be executed.
I think you could override the getCreate...Command() to return a
customised command, with and override the execute() method. The
Command#execute method is the one that is called to actually perform the
action.

Hi again. Actually the command is executed all the time. This is very strange.
The execute is performed every time a command is required..
