I am needing a tool that will allow for not only the selection of an
EditPart but also the creation of a connection by dragging from a source
EditPart to a target EditPart. It needs to work so that single clicking
on an EditPart only selects the part but does not start connection
creation. Only when a drag occurs does the connection creation begin.
After searching this newsgroup, I tried a few different approaches
without success. First, I tried setting the drag tracker on the
SelectionTool to the ConnectionDragCreationTool. Next, I tried
implementing the getDragTracker method of my EditPart. Finally, I tried
creating my own EditPolicy for the PRIMARY_DRAG_ROLE. None of these
solutions worked very well.
Do I need to create my own tool to accomplish this task or is there an
easier way?
TIA

Thanks Randy. I will give it a try today.
