Hi all,
i need an editpart which is similar as the one used for Note. For now, I
can get the Note shape using NoteFigure. I also use a WrappingLabel to
capture the description of the node. My node wraps the label according to
the size of the figure nicely. However, I can only edit the label content
in a single line text editor, which is not the same as the text editor
used by Note. Can anybody please tell me how I can use multi-line text
editor within my node as what Note does?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
This seems odd. Check which DirectEditManager is being used when
editing the label, by putting a breakpoint in the label's editpart's
performDirectEdit() methods. If your editpart is a subclass to
TextCompartmentEditPart it should be using the TextDirectEditManager
which should show multi-line text.
Regards,
Cherie
