Hi there, Great tool!
I am using EEF in conjunction with Graphiti and from what I have seen so far this is an excellent utility.
I have two questions. First I am getting an incomplete generation of property viewers from EEF on several elements in my model which are inherited from a base type.
The model is like this with annotations about attributes and what gets generated:
Node (parent Class) - 2 string attributes -- not generated
Goal (child of Node) - 2 boolean attributes -- generated
Strategy (child of Node) - 2 boolean attributes -- generated
Assumption (child of Node) - no attributes except inherited ones -- not generated
Evidence (child of Node) - no attributes except inherited ones -- not generated
....
Link (parent Class) - 2 Ereferences and string attribute -- not generated
Solved (child of Node) - no attributes except what is inherited -- generated
Context (child of Node) - no attributes except what is inherited -- not generated
It seems to me that what is getting generated and what is not is somewhat arbitrary. For instance there is no difference between Solved and Context. In Goal and Strategy the inherited attributes show up fine.
Is there a reason for this? (I was not able to find an answer through the runtime table)
Can I simply extend the "MODEL.components" file adding these elements in and regenerate the code?
My second question is if there is any guidance on writing a specialized listener that can call a redraw on the diagram. One case of this is in the Goal from above I have a particular decorator that shows up when one of the boolean attributes is true. Upon switching (from true to false or vice versa) I need to force Graphiti to redraw the element. It is not clear to me where I would hook into the listener for that. Is there any tutorial or guidance on how to do that?
Thanks!
Joe
Addendum: I thought I would just go ahead and try to add elements into the "MODEL.components" file directly. I received an error, "Unhandled event loop exception", in several spots. First was Properties Edition Component on the Binding->Model chooser (when either editing an old node or on my "new" one). And in defining a View Container Representation using the chooser as well (again clicking on the button for both old and new nodes causes the error.) Just FYI. Thanks!
