Specifying properties for figures in a seperate window [message #120552]

My editor currently displays graphical figures.

I want to be able to specify properties for these figures when they are
clicked

e.g. allowing data to be entered into a pop-up box, or in a "properties"
view, when a figure is clicked.

These properties should be synchronised with the model (via the respective
editparts for the figures).

I was wondering how I could do this. Any help/tips greatly appreciated.

Hi!

your model or editpart class should implement IAdaptable and
return a property source:

MyPropertySource propertySource = null;

public Object getAdapter(Class adapter)
{
if (adapter == IPropertySource.class)
{
if (propertySource == null)
propertySource = new MyPropertySource(getModel());

return propertySource;
}
return null;
}

Look in the Logic Example, it uses PropertySources
for displaying e.g. the size and location of your element.

Regards, Ingo

You can also customize the entire propertysheet by providing your own page
which has whatever you want.

This is more of a platform issue, but the propertysheet asks your editor for
a page using getAdapter(). You can return whatever you want. Look for
implemetors of getAdapter()
