Hi,

I am creating a GEF RCP application and am working on the pöroperties of
my model-elements. As the property-structure is not quite simple, I
would like to link in my own property-editor which is shown when an
element is selected. What exactly do I have to do for this?

Tanks in advance,
Chris

What do you mean with "property-editor"? Just the normal properyview in
Eclipse or something else?

Yes ... I can't use the simple default ProperyView in Eclipse and would
like to link in my own. As far as I understood the entire concept I have
to let my getAdapter method return a IPropertySheetPage Instance when
called with a IPropertySheetPage key. Unfortunately this request is
never done by Eclipse.

Are you making this getAdapter call in your editor and not your editpart?

Cheers,

I simply inserted a breakpoint and th only time I get there ist when a
IPropertySource is requested.
I must admit that this entire Property-stuff is totaly stuffing my
brain. Had to work myself into SWT, GEF, RCP, and all the other stuff
and now I seem to be unable to properly digest this chunk of new concepts.

Just found my mistake ... wanted to add the PropertyPage to the EditPart
and not the Editor ... was is the point of this? I thought I could
register a PropertyPage for each EditPart that lets me edit this
components Properties. Am I on the wrong path here?

The editparts return a propertySource-Object.
In the EDiagram-Example for each model-element you create an own
propertySource-class whose object will be returned by the
getPropertySource()-method.

Sample-Code (located in the editpart):

public Object getAdapter(Class key) {
if (IPropertySource.class == key) {
return getPropertySource();
}
return super.getAdapter(key);
}

protected IPropertySource getPropertySource() {
if (propertySource == null)
propertySource = createPropertySource();
return propertySource;
}

protected YourPropertySource createPropertySource() {
return new YourPropertySource();
}

Inspect the Ediagram-Example, it should help.

I hope I could help.

Andreas

Off the top of my head, the only other implementation of a custom
property sheet page would be the webtools property page that is
*possibly* slated to be included in 3.2 (it exists somewhere in webtools
currently as internal)

I think this property sheet will solve a lot of the problems people have
using the current crappy one.

Here's a quick snapshot of it,
