Can GMF be used to create editors like this? [message #212297]

Hi All

I have a requirement to build a flow definition UI, where there is a main
flow of actions in-order, sometimes with branching and/or conditional. In
these cases, I need to show the different paths somewhat like in the
following editor from BEA

http://edocs.bea.com/wli/docs92/overview/wwimages/workbench. gif

What I would like to know is if this is possible with GMF? Also I have
seen the main concepts of GMF to be around Nodes, Connections and
Labels.. how could one define advanced UI options like those shown in the
above editor?

thanks

Hello C. Perera,

For me this diagram looks like a set of Nodes, Connections and Labels ;-)
I think you can do something similar with GMF, so I suggest you to try that.
Definitly some "flying" buttons ("+" sign/ "check" sign) will not be so easy
achievable, but still you can do that with the custom code.
