Hi,
I have a model in which I want to change an attribute of a model element.
I get the attribute
change from a dialog box and it seems to me an implementation of
DirectEditPolicy is the
appropriate way to send a message to the model element. What I'm not getting
is what do I
need to do to get the DirectEditPolicy to trigger after I close the dalog
box,
Thanks,
Andy

DirectEditPolicy is mainly used for handling in-place editing and requests,
that come from a DirectEditManager.
If you use a dialog for changing values, simply put a command on the command
stack,
which changes your model.
You could create a direct edit request, send it to the editpart, and execute
the command which is returned.
getEditPart().getCommand(EditRequest);
be sure to install your directEditPolicy.

Thanks Ingo,
I think the command stack is the way to go here - having looked
at the CommandStack and EditDomain I don't see an obvious way to add
the command - I do see I could request the CommandStack to directly
execute a Command but that seems intrusive. Am I supposed to use an API
to queue the command for execution by whatever usually calls the
CommandStack
execute() method?
Thanks,
Andy
