Hi! All,

I have used DnD feature for dragging an element from treeviewer to
GMF editor.
When drop is occuring on rectangular figure (inside editor), i want to
create another child rectangular figure in it.

Could you please suggest - how to do that? Which EditPolicy should I
install?
If possible, please provide some code snippet.

Regards,
Manoj

Hello Manoj,

Try to handling D&D request for this particular child figure. You have to
install DiagramDragDropEditPolicy inside corresponding XXXEditPart.createDefaultEditPolicies()
method and handle drop request there. As an example you can use XXEditPart
generated for the diagram element - it has corresponding EditPolicy generated,
but you have to completely modify getDropObjectsCommand() to return a command
creating "copy" of the element being dropped.

Did you seen XXXEditPart.createDefaultEditPolicies() for the diagram EditPart
generated by GMF? You have to generate diagram code with shortcuts feature
enabled and then you’ll see examples of necessary code there.
