Hi all,

I try to set a newly created object at a specific position:

Therefore I am creating a CreateViewAndElementRequest. The object shall be
created within an compartment when target is the compartmentEditPart I am
calling then

req.setLocation(new Point(10,10));
cmd = target.getCommand(req);

After executing the command the new object is created but the position is
arbitrary.

What is wrong? Do I have to add an offset resp. where is the current 0,0
Position for a resizeable and scrollable compartment.

Best

Dirk

I set now the explicit the position of the bound after creation, this
works afer the creation command is executed.

BoundsImpl currentLayout =
(BoundsImpl)((Node)viewDescriptor.getAdapter(Node.class)).ge tLayoutConstraint();

currentLayout.setX(pos.x);
currentLayout.setY(pos.y);

Request?
