Drag'n drop (or cut & paste) programmatically [message #1071003]

Fri, 19 July 2013 02:06

Eclipse User

Hello,

I would like to know how to make a drag'n drop (or cut & paste) from a plugin code.

I saw that there are some classes to do that in emf (like org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.action.PasteAction) but I want to know how to use it.

My goal is to automatically move an object in a package (same Model). But I need to keep the dependencies, profiles applications ...

Thanks,

Adrien

Adrien,

You can of course look at the implementations of these things and use
the debugger to see how they behave in an editor. It sounds like you're
working with UML2 so I'd be surprised if you could do this just using
UML2's APIs.

Hi

org.eclipse.swt.dnd is where the code is. Google for examples.

The UML Model Editor (and Papyrus editors) already have some drag and
drop support.

I guess that you meant that I can use UML2's APIs only to make take. I'm currently trying to use these APIs but I'm losing every profileApplication when I move a Classifier.

Adrian,

You're probably best to look at how the copy and paste commands are
specialized for UML2. You might ask on the UML2 newsgroup how you can
move something and at the same time ensure that the profile application
follows along...

Yes I have come to the same conclusion, I can probably use the UML2 API to do what I want!

Thanks for your help.
