Satyajit,
For GMF 1.0.3, I have successfully added a custom tab to the Properties
view in the following way. I don't know this is a smart way, though.
1. Add a PropertyTabs extension
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.tabbed.propertyTabs" >
<propertyTabs
contributorId="org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.properties ">
<propertyTab
category="Advanced"
id="property.tab.YourAdvancedPropertySection"
label="YourCustomLabel"/>
</propertyTabs>
</extension>
2. Add a PropertySection
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.tabbed.propertySections ">
<propertySections
contributorId="org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.properties ">
<propertySection
class="org.example.YourPropertySection"
filter="org.example.YourEditPartPropertySectionFilter"
id="property.section.YourAdvancedPropertySection"
tab="property.tab.YourAdvancedPropertySection"/>
</propertySections>
</extension>
3. Create YourPropertySection class by extending AbstractPropertySection
4. Create YourEditPartPropertySectionFilter class implementing IFilter
public class YourEditPartPropertySectionFilter implements IFilter {
public boolean select(Object toTest) {
if (toTest instanceof YourEditPart) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
I hope this helps you.

I have some custom properties which are not a part of my original domain model
and I would like to show them in different property tabs. If I select a shape
on the diagram, these extra tabs should show up. I am using GMF 1.0.3.

is it also necessary to implement a IPropertySource if you want that both
the diagram and the model change when the new PropertySection is modifyed?
or is it enought to implement the changes of the model by executing a
Command?. I have tried the second approach but I am able to change the model
but the diagram is not refreshed.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Begoña,
No, your PropertySection doesn't need to implement IPropertySource.
Executing a command is the regular way to edit both your semantic model and notation model.
Are you using the editingDomain you can get from your AttributeInstanceEditPart when executing the SetCommand?
If not, you should.
When a node corresponding to your AttributeInstanceEditPart is selected, your PropertySection.setInput() is called with ISelection from which you can get the AttributeInstanceEditPart instance. Then you can get the editingDomain by AttributeInstanceEditPart.getEditingDomain().

Hi Koji,
Thank you for your answer. I do exactly what you have explained!!, the
problem is that the SetCommand modify the 'value' object that is referenced
from the AttributeInstance (that is,
attributeInstance.getValue().setValue(aValue)) So, when the value is changed
in the PropertySection the notification never arrives to
AttributeInstanceEditPart to refresh. I guess the notification is sent to
the ValueEditPart that it does not exist.
I hope I explain myself clear enough. Any idea about where the problem is?
Best regards,
Bego

Hi Begoña, I send you a simple code you can add to your XPropertySection
file that implements your property section.
This is a handler that is executed when a text field is modified. Replace
projectName and projectPackage to your own ones:
protected void handleNameModified()
{
Element e = (Element) getGMFElement();
String newName = textName.getText();
EAttribute atr =
projectName.projectPackage.eINSTANCE.getElement_NameElement( );
doSetCommand(e, atr, newName);
}
The method getGMFElement brings to you the EMF element that represents the
selected node from your diagram. Replace 'Element' to your own one:
protected Element getGMFElement()
{
StructuredSelection ss = (StructuredSelection) getSelection();
if(ss != null)
{
Element e = (Element) ss.getFirstElement();
return e;
}
else
return null;
}
And the method doSetCommand executes the transaction that changes the
value of the attribute Name, in this case:
public void doSetCommand(Object owner, Object feature, Object value)
{
EditingDomain editingDomain = ((projectDiagramEditor)
getPart()).getEditingDomain();
SetCommand sCommand = (SetCommand) SetCommand.create(editingDomain,
owner, feature , value);
editingDomain.getCommandStack().execute(sCommand);
}
Try to adapt this code to your project and see if it works.
Salut!
Marc.

Begoña,
I think I understand your real problem.
The notification is issued by not AttributeInstance but Value, right?
Then, you might have to override handleNotificationEvent() in
AttributeInstance EditPart as follows:
@Override
protected void handleNotificationEvent(Notification notification) {
if (notification.getNotifier() instanceof Value) {
// refresh your node
}
super.handleNotificationEvent(notification);
}
I'm not sure this solution is correct. I'm inspired by the following
article:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/GMF_Tips#Making_figures_sensitive_to _attributes_of_semantic_elements
Give it a try!

Hello,
I would like to add a property tab and a section for all GMF generated
editors. However, I'm not sure whether this is possible.
I was able to add a tab and a section for a specific GMF editor by using
the propertyTabs and propertySections extension points and setting the
same property sheet page contributor ID as it is defined for the
generated property tabs in the editor's diagram plugin. This identifier
simply equals the diagram plugin ID.
To extend this approach to all GMF editors, I tried using
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.properties as contributor ID as is is
suggested in the post below. However, the tab does not show up in this way.
The article "The Eclipse Tabbed Properties View" at Eclipse Corner
states the following:
"A workbench part cannot make use of two or more property contributors.
It can identify a single property contributor by implementing the
ITabbedPropertySheetPageContributor interface."
Does this mean the only way to add tabs to the properties for an editor
is by referencing that editor's specific property contributor ID?

org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.properties, then my new tab does show
up when using this string as contributor. However, this does not solve
my problem, as I don't want to change the editors.
