How to get to ConnectionEditPart from an EditPart [message #192266]

I need to be able to toggle the visibility of a Part and its primary
connection. If an EditPart is made invisible, then its connection should
also be made invisible.

Is there a way for me to get to the ConnectionEditPart that is connected to
my EditPart? It seems that I can only get to the Connection model, which
doesn't seem to help.

Possibly I am going about this the wrong way. Is there a way to get a list
of all of the ConnectionEditParts in the editor? That way I can iterate
through and drive the visible toggle that way.

Thanks

You should be able to call getSourceConnections(). also, you can lookup the
editpart via its model using the viewer's editpart registry

See how AbstractGraphicalEditPart.refreshSourceConnections() works.

Hint: you need to: getViewer().getEditPartRegistry().get(connModel)
