To change editparts position programmatically [message #197100]

Hello all,
Can know what is the best way to reposition editparts programmatically.i.e

I have compartment "A" which has children "A1" "B1" in turn compartment
"A1" has children "A1_1" and "A1_2".I would like to move the
editpart(A1_1)progamatically and make it as child for A ,such that A as
now "A1,B1 and A1_1" as children

A
| --- A1 ----A1_1
| |
| |
| |-----A1_2
|
| --- B1

This change should reflect in the domain model and i would also like
retain the layout

I tried using MoveElementsCommand
//snippet
MoveRequest moveRequest = new
MoveRequest(selectedElement.getEditingDomain(), createdModelElement,
listOfContainedElements);
MoveElementsCommand moveCommand = new MoveElementsCommand(moveRequest);

IOperationHistory history =
OperationHistoryFactory.getOperationHistory();
try {
history.execute(moveCommand, new NullProgressMonitor(), null);
} catch (ExecutionException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

This changes the model as expected but the existing layout gets altered

I also tried
Command getReparentCommand(ChangeBoundsRequest request,EditPart editPart)

but that also did't work as expected.

did the follow changes:

ChangeBoundsRequest req = new
ChangeBoundsRequest(RequestConstants.REQ_ADD);

//editparts to add req.setEditParts(editParts);

//parent editpart to which it has to be added

Command command = parenteditPart.getCommand(req); command.execute();

It also retains the layout.
