Hello,
I have a figure, call it a decoration, that appears on top of another figure
on the diagram. When the user clicks the mouse over the decoration figure,
I want to select the main figure and not the decoration figure. When the
user hovers over the decoration figure, I want to show a tooltip.
I can get the desired selection behavior by overwriting findFigureAt() in
the decoration figure, but then the tooltip is not shown. Does anyone know
how I can accomplish what I want?
I thought maybe setRequestFocusEnabled(false) or setFocusTraversable(false)
would help but these seem to be only used in specific scenarios (and I'm not
really sure what those are at this point).
Thanks,
Cherie

Are you really selecting figures, or editparts? If the decoration is really
just a figure, and not a second editpart, and you want to select the main
figure's editpart, all you have to do is register that decoration as a
visual for the editpart. Graphical viewer supports N->1 figure->editpart
mappings. When you click the decoration, you will be clicking the editpart,
so it's drag tracker would select it.
