How to get to the tool that created the request [message #166870]

During move or resize operationds handled by a specialized
ResizableEditPolicy i want to do some final checking before the created
command is executed and in some cases popup a messsage dialog to have the
execution of the command confirmed.

Can someone tell me how I can obtain the originating tool which created the
request.

How does the tool help you popup a dialog? You can't depend on a tool. For
example, the AlignmentAction creates resize commands but there is no tool.

The EditPart can obtain the Shell necessary for popping up a dialog.

Thanks for the quick response.

I have to implement a functional requirement where there is a semantic
meaning when this object overlaps other objects. Resizing this object
changes these semantics. This is only known when resizing is ready. I intent
to popup a dialog for confirmation before the command is executed.
Preferably I derive the tools and overwrite the executeCommand method.

Hopefully this explanes the why,
