Hello Ye,
you can specify which properties should be shown and which not (and also
whether the visible properties should be editable) in the EMF genmodel
file. Select a property from the tree and change the 'property type' in
the 'edit' category. Here you can also assign categories to the several
properties (just like the 'ecore' and 'edit' categories in this sheet).
Make the changes and regenerate the edit code.
Regards,
Tobias

Hi Ye,
actually, the current value of the reference should already be selected
in that list. Are you sure that the parent ref is the opposite of the
containing ref, so parent is set automatically when node O is inserted
in A? BTW, I would recommend not to set properties to 'editable' that
correspond to diagram elements, as they will most likely not synchronize
with the diagram when you change them.
Regarding your other posting I could also imagine that something is
wrong with your mapping model, especially the definition of the
compartment in A, so that O is not really contained in A, but only drawn
on top of it or something. Could you check your model file (using the
tree editor or as XML) and check whether O really is a child of A?

Hello Ye,
I think you got something wrong with you gmfgraph model. The compartment
figure ist NOT the figure of the node that is contained in this
compartment, but a container for those nodes.
For instance, in the general case you will have a figure with a label
and a compartment. That would mean you have a figure descriptor with a
child figure, which again has a child label and another child figure (a
rectangle).
- FigureDesc
- ParentFigure // this is the figure that is shown for the parent node
- LabelFigure // this figure is the label of the parent
- CompartmentFigure // this figure (should be a rectangle) is the
one associated with the Compartment
Now, in the mapping model, you define a top level node for the parent,
holding a compartment mapping associated with the compartment from the
gmfgraph model, a feature label mapping and a child reference mapping,
associated with the compartment mapping.
Well, I think this is a bit much to explain here. Have you yet tried the
GMF-Tutorials? I think they explain the issue very well. You find them here:
<http://wiki.eclipse.org/GMF_Documentation> (however, currently there
seem to be some problems with the server)

Hello Ye,
I'm glad I could help. Concerning the problem of inserting A in A, you
should have a look at the thread "Indefinite Child Referentiation" right
next to this thread. Basically, you can insert nodes recursively by
setting the "Referenced Child" feature of a Child Reference.

Why can't you tell? Can you insert an A in an A (and another A in the A
in the A), or not?

There's definitely a way, but right now I can't tell how, because for me
it always worked by default, and by now I'm using exclusively custom
figures, so I can't just have a look in my gmfgraph. I think, you should
simply insert the label and the compartment figure into the parent
figure, without any layout, points, or stuff.
