I'm pretty new to Graphiti so maybe there's an easy solution to my problem which I just haven't found yet but after some searching without finding anything on this topic I choose to open this topic.

What I'm looking for is the possibility to add a scrollbar to a Pictogram Element. As a easy example remember the EClass thats provided in the tutorial. You use the top space as a Caption and let's assume we want to use the lower space for a description. As such a description can be pretty long but we don't want the shapes to get ridiculous big it would be nice to have a horizontal and/or vertical scrollbar.

Thanks for helping
Lars

Lars,

that is currently not possible. Graphiti does not support something like a
"scrollable composite". If you would like to see such a feature feel free to
open an enhancement request.

Hi Lars,

I see no support out of the box. My idea, if I really wanted to implement this:

Add a scrollbar to the diagram at the correct position and do the relative positioning of the text shape to the container shape your self.

This is how I add a button to the diagram:

							FigureCanvas fcvs = (FigureCanvas) graphicalViewer.getControl();
							Composite composite = new Composite(fcvs, SWT.NONE);
							
							if(logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
								logger.error(parent);
							}
							composite.setBounds(30, 10, 80, 40);
							composite.setLayout(new FillLayout(SWT.HORIZONTAL));
							Button button = new Button(composite, SWT.NONE);

						
							composite.layout();

Thanks for your help. Smile

I guess I follow Andreas idea and try to "custom add" it using SWT.
