Hi,
I have implemented my graphical editor inside a MultiPageEditorPart, and
did not find any particular problems. However, my starting point was
that I read the comments in GraphicalEditor (and subclasses) that said
"This class should only be used as a reference for creating your own
EditorPart implementation. This class will not suit everyone's needs,
and may change in the future. Clients may copy the implementation"
I decided to implement my own EditorPart and fold all the
GraphicalEditor(WithFlyoutPalette) stuff in there - helped me with
understanding, too.
I am not sure that the above is even needed, though. What exact problems
are you facing?

Ed, Christian,
Thankyou both for replying.
I had overlooked the comments in the GraphicalEditor class, I will see if I
can simply make my own with a bit of copying and changing the hierarchy. I
do agree with Christian that GEF should provide this out of the box as it is
a common paradigm for Eclipse plugin authors.
I also found source code for an IBM redbook that implments a multipage GEF
editor, I am part way through hacking that around so I'll see where it takes
me first..
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246302.html
Source code is downloadable from the URL, follow the link to 'Additional
Material'.
When I have made some progrss I'll drop back and post some findings.
Regards,
Tim.
