Overlapping Shapes - Problem [message #181345]

Hi,

I built an editor which can draw various shapes. I built in
copy & paste support. My problem is the following:
If I have multiple shapes which overlap each other and select
them one after another using Shift- or Ctrl-key, copy & paste
them it can occur, that shapes are in the background which where
in foreground before or the other way round. If I select all
EditParts using the Marquee-Tool the problem doesn't occur.

To determine the selected EditParts for copying I use
EditPartViewer.getSelectedEditParts(). I suppose it is a
problem with the selected state of an EditPart, because it
depends on the order the EditParts are selected.

Has anybody an idea about that ?

thx

Soeren

Right, the EditParts are returned in the order of selection. You can always
re-arrange them based on the z-order once you get the list of selected parts
from the viewer.
