[draw2d] EventDispatcher/Paint Problem [message #86158]

Hi!

I'm trying to integrate the draw2d Tree Example into an Eclipse editor.
I'm using Eclipse 2.0.2 and draw2d 2.1 . My Code in the Editor calling the
Tree stuff:

public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
TreeExample tr = new TreeExample();
tr.run(parent);
}

And my Version of TreeExample.run():

public void run(Composite parent){
parent.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, false));
setFigureCanvas(new FigureCanvas(parent));
getFigureCanvas().setContents(contents = getContents());
getFigureCanvas().setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));
hookShell(parent);
LightweightSystem lws = new LightweightSystem(getFigureCanvas());
getFigureCanvas().setBackground(ColorConstants.blue);
SWTEventDispatcher dis = new SWTEventDispatcher();
lws.setEventDispatcher(dis);
}

As in the standalone example I have all the parts of the TreeExample in my
Editor window. But where the Tree should be I just see a blue Rectangle
(respective a white one in origin). If click somewhere in the Rectangle an
hit the Tree (and/or parts of it) it shows up, also when I click on the
Controls like "Horizontal Orientation". When I minimize my Workbench
window the tree again is gone. My assumption is the the tree doesn't get
any kind of Event to paint itself from the Workbench. I tried to use the
SWTEventDispatcher but as
I'm not very familiar with Eventhandling I have no idea how to go on.

Thanks for any help you can provide me!

Step 1) Use a supported version of Eclipse. draw2d 2.1.0 is only supported
on Eclipse 2.1.x.

Step 2) The class FigureCanvas creates its own LightweightSystem and event
dispatcher. You are creating a second one. Don't do this! You're adding
multiple paint listeners to the canvas, which may be causing problems.

Thanks for your help, I didn't know that. Now I have it up and running!
