| Custom ViewPart + Accessing the Model [message #184157] |

Hi,
I've created a new ViewPart to display some information about the model
being edited by the currently active editor (the model before it is saved
to disk, that is).
Currently I am sharing the TransactionalEditingDomain and accessing it
from my ViewPart code like this:
TransactionalEditingDomain.Registry.INSTANCE.getEditingDomai n(EDITINGDOMAIN_IDENTIFIER);
(detailed here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/GMF_Tips#Sharing_single_EditingDomai n_instance_across_several_diagrams)
Hopefully this design is reasonable, as I need to create more ViewParts
which also read the model. If not, I'd appreciate alternate suggestions ;)
The ViewParts must know about the entire model, not just selected
elements, so I'm not sure ISelectionListeners etc. will cut it. My
question about all this is:
How do I identify which model underlies the currently active editor from
the ViewPart code?
At the moment I can iterate through the models available in the
EditingDomain:
default.model
default.model_diagram
default2.model
default2.model_diagram
How do I tell which is currently displaying, so I can have the ViewPart
update itself?
Thanks!

Here's my solution, for any hapless newbies following in my footsteps.
Scratch the above junk about sharing the TransactionalEditingDomain. No
need to do this for a ViewPart. In the ViewPart I wrote:
Object o = this.getSite().getPage().getActiveEditor().getEditorInput();
EditingDomain editingDomain =
MyGeneratedDiagramEditorPlugin.getInstance().getDocumentProv ider().getDiagramDocument(o).getEditingDomain();
Using the EditingDomain I can grab the ResourceSet and iterate over it,
locating the nodes I need to access. Gnarly!
