Figure with Button, or manual Command execution [message #189516] Wed, 27 July 2005 16:06 Go to next message

Hello,

i have added a Button to a Figure. When the User klicks on the Button I
want that a new Item is added to a List in the Model. (This is all not a
Problem, add Button, register Listener etc.)

Now, the question.
Because of the Command Pattern, I schould not change the Model directly
(While I would also loose undo functionality). So I need a Command to do
this for me. So the real problem is how to execute the Command?

The code looks like this :

void actionListener() {
Command cmd=new MyCommand( changedData );
commandStack.execute( cmd ); // Where to get the Commandstack ?
}

The Listener Function is in the EditPart (So the Base is
AbstractGraphicalEditPart). Is there a way to get the commandstack easily ?

*****
Alternative Solution (Gues it will at least end in the same problem) :

I found a older Posting here says I need to do :
> 1. Add a (Clickable) toggle to a figure.
> 2. Add changeListener to the toggle figure in the EditPart.
No Problem, done

> 3. In the changeListener on "pressed" event:
Here wo come

> -create a new request of type "TOGGLE";
I did :
Request req=new Request( myRoleID ); // myRoldID=new String("MYROLE");

> -call getCommand(request)
Command cmd=getCommand( req );

> -provide a policy that would generate a toggle command on this
> TOGGLE request.
So this is the stuff I was not able to do. Create a Policy is not a
Problem, but installEditPolicy needs as First Parameter a ROLE. But
which Role schould I use, it is a userdefinde role or ?

Here I'm not sure, after the stuff above will work I have only a
command. So I'm afraid i got the same Problem like in the first
Solution. How to get the CommandStack to execute the command.

getViewer().getEditDomain().getCommandStack()

Thanks a lot. Don't know why I haven't seen it.
