click behaviour to edit a label [message #1030782]

Hi,

at the moment it seems that it take three clicks to edit a label. While the first click selects the node, the second one selects the label. I would like to change this behaviour, so that one click on a label directly allows me to edit it. But I couldn't find any method or attribute where I can define this.

Has anyone an idea how to apply this?

Hi Phil,

I don't get your problem, even if you have to click twice to select your label, the first is enough to modify your label.

Click on your node, start to write the new label on your keyboard and the label will change.

Or am I missing somethings ?

Hi Valerian,

the problem is that when you just click once on a label you can't edit the label. You write a new label.

But what I want is that white window for editing existing labels with just one click. Hope you understand it now?

Are you working with a node with a single label ? Or with a node with a compartment able to contains multiple labels ?

As you can see at the below image, I'm working on a node with a single label.

There seems to be three labels... "Or", "Feature"1 and "Feature"2.

you said "the problem is that when you just click once on a label you can't edit the label. You write a new label."

What happend on your image? You've somethings like ?

+------------------+
| Or               |
| New Label        |
|------------------+
| Feature |Feature |

The "Or" one is the compartment, while "Feature" are two nodes. So one node contains a single label.

When I click on one of this labels, they're getting blue and I can rewrite it.
But I want to have this, after one click on the label:

Hi,

"F2" will also invoke the edit-behavior of your label.

If you want to shorten the way, you could listen to the setSelected-call of your label-editpart and programmatically invoke the edit-behavior.

public void setSelected(int value) {
  super.setSelected(value);
  performDirectEdit();
}

Regards
Thomas
