Ports/anchors with Affixed Parent Side [message #177261]

Hi!

I also need the same help defining ports as Davide Rossi posted with
subject "define anchors (should this be a FAQ?)" on 11.3.2008.

I've been struggling to define behaviour with property Affixed Parent
Side, but with no success.

Does anybody has an example of this behaviour working (in .gmfgraph model)
from gmf generated code?
Or, do I need to set this property and then add some extra manual code?

I also do not understand "parent/child relationship between the main
diagram elements and their ports - anchor points in the graph model" as
Davide Rossi stated.

Thanks in advance,
Igor Novak

Hi
I have come across your problem of placing PORTS affixed on PARENTS side.
can explain with a simple example.

Say u have a component and want Port affixed on its side.
You can follw this procedure to do this task.

Add Port in GMF Graph.
'When creating "Node" for Port there is a property called "Affixed Parent
Side". Set this property from list of choices as required.

Next add this Port as CHILD REFERENCE to the Component in GMF Mapping.
Hierarchy goes like this
Top Node Reference -> Component
Chiild Reference -> Port
(Note: Please do not add this Port into any compartment mapping of the
Component.)

Hope this was your problem.

Cheers,
Amit

Hi there,

I'm sorry to ask again about this matter, but I cannot find the solution to my concrete problem.

Igor, I'm setting AffixedParentSide property to the port node in the gmfgraph and then defining the child reference in the gmfmap, but the behavior I get is that, when I add the main element to the diagram, if I leave the cursor over that node, a pop up appears offering me the possibility of adding a port to the control. This is not what I'm looking for.

I want the port to appear already sticked to the element when I add the element to the diagram.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Carlos
