Creating several nodes+links with only one palette action [message #176565]

Hello,

The activities in our workflow are not only one activity but a template of
activities :

<Input Nodes>------[Activity]------<Output Nodes>

There's a pre-processing in the input nodes and a post processing in the
output nodes.
Each node and the activity are one object in the Diagram model.

It will be quite fastidious for an end user to always define the input
nodes and output nodes one by one.
Instead I wonder if it's possible to create the whole template using one
tool entry of the palette.

I took a look on the GMF code and it seems there's a strong bound in "1
tool entry = 1 diagram node or link"

I wonder if someone could tell me if it's possible or give me some hints.

Thank,
Ivan

You have to write code; creation tool asks target edit part (~ under
cursor) for creation command and executes it; you could ask for an
appropriate number of commands for each element and execute a compound
command.

Hello Dimitri,

Thank you for your answer.

I could do what I wished to do by hacking the
XXXCreateCommand.doExecuteWithResult(...) by replacing the old code by a
sequence that's update the Model objects.

So far it's working but I don't know if there would be side effects.

Thanks,
Ivan
