How to make the "New" diagram wizard dissapear [message #173358]

Hi all :)

My users gets very confused with having to define to files for every
diagram they create. So I'm trying to remove that wizard.

I've defined 2 URI's so that the diagram gets created using these
instead of the one's from the wizard.

I've removed the addPages method, so now an empty dialog shows. The user
presses Finish, and all is well.

However, I really want to remove the dialog all together. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Tomas

Arg. This is really getting on my nervers.. I've tried so many solutions.

How hard can it be to launch my custom code instead of the creation wizard?

Hi Tomas,

if you want to completely remove your diagram wizard from the new wizards,
you have to remove the extension from the plugin.xml of your diagram
plugin. just remove the xml text like this one:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.newWizards">
<wizard
name="My Product Diagram"
icon="icons/obj16/ModelDiagramFile.gif"
category="org.eclipse.ui.MyCompany"
class="com.mycompany.myproduct.diagram.part.XXXCreationWizard "

id=" com.mycompany.myproduct.model.diagram.part.XXXCreationWizard ID ">
<description>
Creates a new diagram.
</description>
</wizard>
</extension>

If you want to change what the wizard does, you have to modify the code of
the generated XXXCreationWizard.

i hope this will help

have fun!

Thanks for helping (I really need this!)

I do not want to remove the menu option (the user needs to be able to
create diagrams)

I have modified the performFinish so that what I want to do gets done
when the user presses finish. However, I would like to:
A: Remove the "select file" pages
B: (Better) That the wizard does not appear at all - but the code I have
in performFinish gets executed.

Ideas?

Tomas

Hello Tomas,

Try "Same File For Diagram And Model" Gen Editor Generator parameter - this
will let you store domain model information together with diagram in the
same file...

I dropped the new wizard thing all together, and went for a hack'n slash
of xyzInitDiagramFileAction instead. I pasted in the creation code from
xyzCreationWizard, told it to quit using a progress monitor - and Voila!

Thanks for helping guys, this was a difficult one!

Cheers,
Tomas
