Making a diagram read-only [message #213866]

I am using GEF 3.0.0. I have a diagram app that is loosely based on
the Shapes example. I want to be able to allow a user to open this
diagram in "read-only" mode. Is there some easy way to do this? It is
relatively easy to make changes so that you do not save anything, but
the user can still manipulate the diagram and see and use the palette.

Is the only way to do this to create a second editor?

Mark,

you could show the "read-only" diagram inside another view / another
editor or inside your exisiting editor.

If you like to create another view, you will just have to implement a
short ViewPart class:
http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/article.php?id=16279&g roup=eclipse.tools.gef#16279

If you decide to use your existing editor, just remove the EditPolicys
installed to your diagram EditPart,
at least the COMPONENT_ROLE and the CONTAINER_ROLE policy.

Regards,

Andreas

I think a short way is let all the EditPart install this
EditPolicy ----- RootComponentEditPolicy

this editpolicy make your model and view can not be removed.And you may
can not create a connection in your diagram.

I come from china and just a B.S in university.
And this is my first time here.
Thanks.

Hi,

you can try --> [ActiveEditor] .getDiagramEditPart().disableEditMode();

you should do .disableEditMode for all the ShapeNodeEditPart of the editor.
However this method don't let you move the objects on the editor, but you can still change their property in the relativi sheet Sad
