Hi,
I have an EditPart container that contains one or several EditPart, that
take the whole space inside the container (think cell=container, image/text
as content). As a result, it's very difficult to select the container
(sometimes possible by clicking on the border). I was trying to see if I
could do something like in Word, where you can select a cell versus the cell
content by hovering the mouse on the left bottom corner of the cell (and the
mouse appearance change to indicate that you will select the cell), but I
don't find any mechanism allowing that in GEF. In fact the SelectionTool
doesn't even fire an hover event to the container editpart when there is
some contents in it, I guess because it only sees the child figures. What's
the best way to solve my problem?
Thanks,
David

the container itself will be returned as the selection when there are no
other active selections. So you need only clear the current selection
to get that. But i'm not sure hwo you can get visual indication of that.
