Disable Automatic Direct (Inline) Editing Upon Creating Link [message #208353]

Hi,

I have a link with a name, which has a label and is supposed to be
editable both in the diagram and in the property view. This works fine.

However, every time a link is created the direct editing mode is
enabled. As the name is optional, I would like to disable this "editing
upon creation", however later editing, both direct and in the property
view, should be left enabled.

How can I do this? If I missed an already existing explanation please
point me to it. :)

Thanks!

Philip

Hello Philip,

Try placing breakpoint into LinkNameEditPart.performDirectEdit() method and
see how it was called on link creation.

Dear Alex,

thanks for your answer. I did that, and probably should cancel editing
in [protected void performDirectEditRequest(Request request)] if the
link was just created.

However, I found no way of getting this information (i.e. that the link
was just created) in any way. Is this information available somewhere?

I ended up checking the Java invocation stack for the class
"ConnectionCreationTool", which works just fine, but I'd rather prefer a
less "low-level" way.
