GMF Palette getting to know the node that was selected [message #780181]

Hi,

I created a dynamic palette by adding my custom nodes in MindmapPaletteFactory.fillPalette().

The palette shows up fine with the nodes (TopicA and TopicB).
Now when i select TopicA from the palette, how would i get to know in the code, the node that was selected.

Specifically, in the TopicCreateCommand, i would like to know the node that was selected.

Depending on which node is selected, i want do some custom actions.

Pls help.

Hello,

I am not sure I completely understood you, but you may put whatever you want into the extendedMetadata of the request returned from your tool in UnspecifiedTypeCreationTool#createTargetRequest.

If your toolA/toolB puts the ("From Tool" -> "A" / "B") pairs here, then in the TopicCreateCommand you should be able to access this via request.getParameter("From Tool").

Hope this helps,
Regards,
Michael "Borlander" Golubev
