How to remove the selection box when the figure is hidden? [message #199059]

Hi,

I called the
((DiagramNodeEditPart)nodeEditPart).getFigure().setVisible(v isibleFlag)
to hide the selected figure. However, it works fine except for the
selection box that
surrounds the figure is still shown even the figure has been hidden.

Could someone please help on how to also remove the selection box?

Thanks
skl

Maybe you could just deselect the Figure?

Yes, the selection boxes will go away when clicking on the other figures
or the canvas. However, I would like to hide/remove those boxes once
the figures are hidden. Otherwise, it looks weird to have those empty
boxes laying around on the canvas.

Thanks

Hiding a figure using setVisible() is probably not the right way to
filter (or hide) something on the canvas. Doing it this way means that
they are there, but you just can't see them. Accessibility gets screwed
up as you can still navigate to those 'hidden' figures using the keyboard.

To truely hide them you should make you model aware of what ought to be
hidden and when the model returns its children it should return only
those it wants to be shown on the canvas.

There have been other threads discussing this so I have not explained
this method in depth...... I can if need be

Well, I got it to work as following::

if (visibleFlag == true) {
nodeEditPart.activate();
} else {
nodeEditPart.deactivate();
}

As Guy pointed out, we have not extensively tested graphical editparts with
hidden figures. There may be several bugs which we would happy to fix or
accept patches from the community. Just open report bugs as you find them.
