[EMF Forms] Receive notifications of rendered form [message #1294786] Sun, 13 April 2014 20:12 Go to next message

Hi,

I am testing EMF Forms for my application and have a question.
I successfully rendered a form in my editor part using

ECPSWTView ecpView = ECPSWTViewRenderer.INSTANCE.render(content, myDomainObject);

The form is displayed correctly.

On Thing that is not obvious to me is how I get notified about changes in the view (for example if the user enters text for a EString Attribute in the text field).

Can someone explain to me how this works?
How and when is the model object updated?



Thanks

Hi,

by default and without any adaptation, the controls use bi-directional
data-binding and will update the model on "focus lost". Therefore the
easiest way to get notified about changes would be to register on the
model itself.

Best regards

Jonas

Thanks for the reply.
I guessed that i have to listen to model changes so I added an adapter but I did not get any notifications. Thats's why I posted here.
I also set breakpoints to check whether my setters are called but they never get called.
Only the getters are called when rendering the form.

Hi,

that is definitely not the expected behavior. The data binding to the
model is kind of the core functionality of the framework, if this does
not work for you, there is something wrong. Unfortunately, I currently
have no idea, what the problem could be. Which attribute type are you
testing with? Did you make sure you lost the focus after changing an
attribute? Do the controls should the values of attributes, which are
already set in the model before opening the form? Do you have any
exceptions in the console? Can you create a test case reproducing this
error?

Best Regards

Jonas
