ECP Static UI widgets into Editor [message #1287432]

I am using ECP to develop a model Application. The documentation "EMF Forms: View Model Elements" mentions that you can put "Label and Separators" in the editor view to add static UI elements to structure the UI.

I want to add buttons that do not have any model attributes assigned, such as save and cancel. Is it possible to add static UI elements such as these. If so, how do you do this with a view model or how can you do it via hard coding. Susan

Hi Susan,
you can either use CustomControls (see http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/tutorials/emf-forms-view-model-elements/#customcontrols )
or implement your own view model element and a renderer.
I would recommend to use custom controls for very specific problems, where you need a specific control for a very specific attribute. Those controls are mostly used only once in the view model.
If you can implement the save/cancel buttons in a way that you can reuse them multiple times (e.g. on multiple views) without code changes, then I would recommend you to create an own view model element for those.

Cheers,
Eugen
