hosting a gef editor in a dialog box [message #185625]

Hi,

Has anyone tried to host a GEF editor as a child control in a dialog box?
It seems like you need to provide a custom implementation of IEditorSite in
order for this work correctly.

Are there any samples or proposed GEF changes that could make this easier to
accomplish?

Note that normally I'd use an Editor or View plugin to host the GEF editor,
however sometimes it's useful to be able to do more powerful things in a
dialog.

Thanks
Damian

Editors that are part of GEF plugin are not really suited for embedding in
other controls. Their javadoc clearly says that the editors should be used
only as a starting point and that implementation can be copied. I did that
for my multipage GEF editor.
You could probably host GEF GraphicalEditPartViewer in your Dialog which
is the important part. You can certainly copy other things from editors'
code. EditPartViewer need not be in EditorPart, see GEF's TreeViewer which
is usually hosted in ContentOutlinePage. You need to setup EditDomain in
your Dialog, maybe setup some SelectionListeners.
