Whoops, sorry bout that posted by mistake..
Anyway here's the issue
"I want to show the user a dialog which allows them to cancel a delete when
deleting objects from a GMF diagram.
I return a command from the EdtiAdviceHelper.getBeforeDestroyElementCommand
This command asks the user if they want to continue and then either cancels
or runs.
My issue is when I try to delete multiple objects at once.
The getBeforeDestoryElementCommand is called for each element so I end up
with a dialog for each element that is going to be deleted.
What I am wondering is how can I group the elements to be deleted together
and show all in one dialog ?"
The back and forth between Christian and I is below.
So can anyone help ???
thanks,
Alan.
Hi, Alan,
Yeah, I'm afraid you exhausted my store of ideas, such as it was.
My knee always jerks against such measures as looking back to a diagram
editor from a reusable component like edit-helper advice that really
shouldn't have knowledge of that context. It should be as usable in the
Project Explorer or any other view (e.g., EcoreTools inheritance
browser) as in the diagram editor.
Perhaps somebody else with more GMF experience than I can help you further.
Cheers,
Christian
