Dear all,
I was hoping to get some information/direction regarding creating links
between components by dragging from the sources components anchor to the
target components anchor. I am currently using Gef 2.1.2 and it is
unlikely for the moment that we will be upgrading.
Many thanks,
Raj

I create my on handle as:
Handle dragLinkCreationHandle = new SquareHandle() {
protected DragTracker createDragTracker() {
return new ConnectionDragCreationTool();
}
};
in the edit parts constructor but how do I I add it to the edit parts
handle layer. Calling getLayer(...) in the constructor throws an NPE (prob
because the layers are initialised later).
On my editpart (representing a component, not a connection) where do I add
the handle? Is there a way of giving the handle visual selection feedback?
Not sure if it is relevant but my editpart returns an input and output
ConnectionAnchor, perhaps there is a way of adding the handle to that
along with the visual feedback?

Look at ResizableEditPolicy::createSelectionHandles - there's handle
creation code there.

Thanks Eugene,
i have created my own subtype of NonResizableEditPolicy:
public class DragLinkCreationNonResizableEditPolicy extends
NonResizableEditPolicy {
private final GraphicalEditPart graphicalEditPart;
public DragLinkCreationNonResizableEditPolicy(GraphicalEditPart child)
{
graphicalEditPart = child;
}
protected List createSelectionHandles() {
SquareHandle handle = new SquareHandle(graphicalEditPart,
new RelativeHandleLocator(graphicalEditPart.getFigure(),
PositionConstants.EAST)) {
protected DragTracker createDragTracker() {
return new ConnectionDragCreationTool();
}
};
List selectionHandles = super.createSelectionHandles();
selectionHandles.add(handle);
return selectionHandles;
}
}
I then override XYLayoutEditPolicy.createChildEditPolicy(..) returning the
above edit policy.
It seems to work, but I know want to show feedback when hovering over the
handle that allows creation of links. Would I need to register another
edit policy on my base ComponentGraphEditParts SELECTION_FEEDBACK_ROLE?
Which policy would I subtype?
Is there an alternate way of providing this type of feedback, such as
direct on the GraphEditPart?
TIA,
Raj
