updating state-dependent figure [message #187751] Fri, 15 July 2005 08:30 Go to next message

I have a MyEditPart.createFigure() which returns a figure which depends
on the state of the model.

When the underlying state is changed (by a dialog) I want createFigure()
to be called again, and the new figure displayed.

I can force createFigure to be recalled by MyEditPart.setFigure(null).
createFigure() is indeed recalled, but the display is not updated.

What is the proper technique for forcing an update in such circumstances.

Many thanks,
Benedict

Is it a completly new figure, or can you handle the changes in a
refreshVisuals in MyEditPart?

If you would like to completly change figure I would use
AbstractGraphicalEditPart.setFigure(..). You probably should configure
the figure in an refreshVisuals though.

Your dialog that changes the model should fire a property change event
that calls refreshVisuals.

In your createFigure() method, put the figure that you create in a figure
with a StackLayout and return that outer figure from that method. You can
then replace that inner figure.

This has been discussed several times on this newsgroup. So, if you want
details or examples, just search for it.
