How to select all node elements on GMF editor without selecting compartments [message #126853]

Dear GMF Gurus,

Iam a newbie to GMF. I have a requirement wherein I have to select all
the nodes in the editor but should not select the compartment inside them.
Then i have to collapse or expand all the compartments inside the nodes.
The "Select All" action selects nodes, connections and compartments. Is
there a way to select only the nodes in the editor or should i write my
own selection mechanism. If yes, how do i go about ?

Thanks in advance.

Sudarshan.

Which version of GMF are you using?

I'm using 1.0.1 and 'Select All' does not select compartment or
LabelEditPart.

If you have a simple diagram with only one node (xxxEditPart) that has a
name and a SubElementCompartment executing 'Select All' will only select
xxxEditPart.

Isn't this what you want?
Or have I misunderstood your question?

BTW, how are you checking to see what is 'selected'... through code? or
just by looking at the selection in the editor?

Thank you. I had not set the collapsible option to true in gmfgraph, hence
was not able to select only the outer node in my editor. Now iam able to
solve the problem. Thanks once again !
