Where to change attributes from code? [message #161006]

Hello,

as many people I would like to chance attributes of my model out of my
program. The plan is to set an index number according to the number of
already existing elements of this type. So for example if there already 2
models of type "Task" and I make a new one its index should be "3".

I read the Newsgroup Q&A about this topic and this post.

http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.technology.gmf /msg03870.html

But I did not get it, where to put this code? Shall I put it in the
"TaskEditHelperClass" in my diagram plugin? But this class seems never to
be called if create a new element. Do I have to register this class
somewhere, so that it is called everytime a new object "Task" was created?

Best Regards and thanks

Malte

Hello Martin

thank you for your reply. I am sorry for my poor first mail, as it didnt
provide the needed information, I can see this now, so much more thinks
for answering. I solved the problem by myself and modifed one of the given
solution from here.

The code can be found below for anyone else who has the same problem. But
I have one more question. The attribute index of type int of the model
Task is now changed automatically after creation. But the next constrained
is that it must not happen that a nummber misses between a lower and a
higer number. For example, there are:

Task Task Task
1001 1002 1003

If the Task in the middle is deleted the index number 1003 should change
to 1002. How can I achieve that?

Regards

Malte
