Hi,
I would like to create a GEF editor where you could create text control on
demand whenever the user starts typing inside the editor. The layout would
be a flow layout, and you would see the cursor blinking with the mouse like
in the flowcontainer of the logic example when you drag'n'drop a control in
it.
Thanks,
David

This is a 3.1 line item for GEF. We would like to start supporting Text
entry directly into graphical views. Currently this is not easy.

So you could insert a native text box when the first key is pressed, and
allow entry into the native text box using direct edit techniques.

What do you mean by 3.1 line item? Will it be available in GEF version 3.1?
Can you give me some hints on how to get started?

I just meant you will see the blinking cursor all the time, and you can move
it around like in a text editor. In the logic example, there is a
flowcontainer control, when you drag something into it, you also see a
cursor telling you where the item will be dropped. So the goal is too see
such a cursor all the time, and the editor layout will be a flow layout
(like inside the flowcontainer).
Thanks,
David
