Problems while saving/closing an editor [message #175098] Sat, 02 April 2005 12:40 Go to next message

Hi,

in my model I have properties that can be changed through the Eclipse
Property view. If a propertiy is changed it fire an event so the edit
part can refresh. This works fine.

When I save the editor that also works without problems. The asterisk in
the editor label disappears.

When I then try and close the editor the asterisk suddenly reappears and
the editor ask if I want to save changes.

This beaviour seems to only occur when I change properties. When I move
a figure, resize it or edit connections everything works fine.

Do you have an idea where I can look for the problem. I'm sure it's my
mistake and I simply forgot to inform some mechanism...

thanks for your help,
Torsten.

What does your editor's isDirty() method do? In commandStackChanged(), I
take it you're firing IEditorPart.PROP_DIRTY.

{
super.commandStackChanged(event);
setDirty(getCommandStack().isDirty());
}

public void setDirty(boolean dirty)
{
if (isDirty != dirty)
{
isDirty = dirty;
firePropertyChange(IEditorPart.PROP_DIRTY);
}
}

public boolean isDirty()
{
return isDirty || getCommandStack().isDirty();
}

Is this ok? What else do I need to watch out for?

Try doing what ShapesEditor and EDiagramEditor do:

public void commandStackChanged(EventObject event) {
firePropertyChange(IEditorPart.PROP_DIRTY);
super.commandStackChanged(event);
}
public boolean isDirty() {
return getCommandStack().isDirty();
}

BTW, with the latest code, you don't need to override the isDirty() method
(GraphicalEditor does that).

Sorry, that doesn't help. But I found out a bit more. It has to do with
which object is selected:

Say I only display one of my elements (compound figure with one label
and an image). I change the font of the label (the editor is marked as
dirty), then WHILE THE FIGURE IS STILL SELECTED I save the editor
(asterisk disappears). When I then click in the background (selecting
the content editpart) the asterisk reappears and the editor is again
marked as dirty.

When I repeat the same scenario with the exception that after changing
the font a select the content editpart and THEN SAVE the editor, I can
close the editor or do what I want, the asterisk will not reappear.

This behaviours only occurs with two of the complex figures, it does not
occur with a simple image (ImageFigure) or the StickyNote figure.

I have verified that the changes get persisted after the first save
operation, so the second must be triggered by some subsequent event. I
just don't know where it could come from.

I hope you got an idea, mine are gone :)

Torsten.

After you've selected the first figure, and changed the font, and saved the
diagram, set a breakpoint in setDirty(). Then click on the background in
the editor. Selection change should not cause a command to be executed or
the diagram to become dirty.
