Changing a DiagramRoot Property [message #218322]

Hello everybody!

I would like to edit a property from my diagram root(the one that I select
in my XXX.gmfmap/Canvas/Domain Meta information/Element).

This element has a String property called "name". I would like to know if
there is a way to change the value of this property after the user creates
a new diagram. Example: after the wizard defining the names of the files
for a diagram, the name property of the element root should receive the
same value of the diagram name selected by the user.

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Raphael

Hello Raphael,

It should be possible from the properties sheet (if you click on the diagram).
Definitely it is possible to change domain model element properties using
custom code.

Hello Alex,

Thanks for the reply!

When I select the diagramroot, using the "project explorer view" the
properties sheet aren't editable. =(

Do you know which class should I have to modify to change a string
property from diagramroot?

Thanks a lot,
Raphael

Hello Raphael,

I meant selecting diagram itself in a diagram editor. Just click to the diagram
surface - in this case properties view should be editable.

Hello Danilo,

> Any ideia?
Looks like you can modify generated code + add a request asking to allow
diagram element's initialization description in .gmfmap model.

Hello Danilo,

If you have to modify properties of newly created domain diagram element
then you can patch generated ???DiagramEditorUtil.createInitialModel() method.
