Chaning properties don't make dirty [message #168340]

Hi! I need a little hint again!

This isn't 100% GEF specific I know, sorry.

My model objects implement a few properties with IPropertySource. Most of
these properties don't
have any visual effect, like descriptions for example. Now, if I change a
description property,
my editor doesn't get dirty and I can't save. I have to move one of the
figures a bit to make
saving possible.

How can this be solved?

Maybe if you call firePropertyChange(PROP_DIRTY) in your IEditorPart, it
will become marked as dirty?

Are you using the Command to make the changes? The CommandStack#isDirty
will handle it. If not, you have to override the EditPart$isDirty function.

when i implemented IPropertySource it seems to automatically use the
stack somehow. So if he is having an issue, maybe he is not processing
the dirty event properly!?

GEF provides an undoable propertysheet entry. This entry creates commands
which dirty the command stack, and consequently the editor.

I think the method is GEFPlugin#createUndoablePropertySheetEntry() Search
for references to this method.
