Hi,
I have the following problem.
I have defined a graphical editor, with a root element. For that editor
everything works fine.
What I now want is a second editor that may load several models of the
first type (i.e. the root element of those models), and a linker that is
able to link the loaded models.
What I tried so far:
I extended the existing ecore model to support that fact. Then I created
two graphical editors with distinct editing domains. I took one of my
existing 1st_diagram files and tried to initialize a 2nd_diagram file. The
problem here is that the root element of the 2nd diagram file is
hierarchically above the root element for the 1st diagram, since the 2nd
one should load several root elements from the 1st diagram. Because of
that I can't select the root element for the 2nd diagram to be initialized.
My question is now how I can best achieve this, respecting the framework,
the 2nd model should look something like this
<2nd root element>
<1st root element>
.... a loaded model
</1st root element>
.
.
.
<1st root element>
.... a loaded model
</1st root element>
<first element linker source="xyz" target="abc"/>
.
.
.
<first element linker source="xyz" target="abc"/>
</2nd root element>
Where as already said the 1st diagram elements are loaded and the linkers
are drawn with the second editor.
My questions:
Do I have to use one or two ecore models?
How can I go up in the hierarchy of root elements?
Do I have to do it programatically or is there a way in the config files?
I am thankfull for every hint...
Thank you,
Marsha

Hi,
The problem is that the 1st editor has to be the starting point. But the
idea I had just now is to use the same ecore model but different domain
file extensions. What should be visualized in the 2nd editor has to be
evaluated with an external mechanism anyway. Once I have the domain file
for the 2nd editor I can easily open it using the standart Initialize
2nd_diagram diagram file action.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
I have another question related to this.
In the graphical definition of my 2nd editor I only defined the root
element and the linker object which points to the elements from the 1st
editor that need to be linked.
How can I display the 1st editor graphical models in the 2nd editor? They
shouldn't be editable. All the user can do is adding those linkers.
Do I have to use the same graphical definition and add the linker and the
2nd editors root element but using a reduced palette? But in that case the
elements already shown still will be editable no?
Is it possible to show them grayish, so that the user intuitivly sees that
he can't change those elements?
