How to hide a root node in outline tree without hiding its children? [message #912772]

For example:

VARIABLE:
      'VARIABLE' VARIABLE_NAME '=' 'test'
;

VARIABLE_NAME:
       name = ID

This is just an example. With this kind of rule, the VARIABLE_NAME will appear as a child node of VARIABLE rule. I don't want the VARIABLE node to show up in my outline tree. How can I hide it?

Hi,

are you talking about a root node (a) or a parent node (b)?

if (b)

public void _createChildren(IOutlineNode parent, ParentOfVARIABLE m) {
		for (VARIABLE v : m.getVARIABLEs()) { //IF its only one dont loop ;-)
			createNode(parent, v.getVARIABLE_NAME ());
		}
	}

if (a)

override

protected void _createChildren(DocumentRootNode parentNode, EObject modelElement) {
		
	}

sililarly

Sorry for my ambiguity. I meant (b).

I did as you said, but the parent node did not disappear. Instead, it appears as "<unnamed>", and the child node (VARIABLE_NAME) is in it.
