Suppress PropertySheet Undo/Redo [message #225657]

Hi,

is there any way to suppress the undo/redo functionality the property sheet provides?

I have several properties of model elements in my GEF editor that can be edited through the property sheet. The setPropertyValue method of my PropertySources calls GEF commands, which change the properties in the model and provide the undo/redo functionality, so I don't need (and don't want, because the change of properties is too complex) the undo/redo funcionality the PropertySheet creates. Is there any way I could realize this?

Thanks for your help,

Christian

Hi Christian,

How are you executing the GEF command? Through the command stack, i.e.
something like getDomain().getCommandStack().execute(myCommand)? If yes,
for not being able to undo/redo this command don't execute the command
through the command stack. From setPropertyValue method it should be safe
just to call myCommand.execute().

A workaround is to do all changes to the model inside setPropertyValue
without using GEF commands.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi,

I'm executing the command through the command stack, because that is what I actually want, that my own undo/redo from the GEF command is used. I don't want the undo/redo from the setPropertyValue method to be used(that's why I don't do the changes in the model directly in the setPropertyValue method), because the generated undo/redo is too dumb and does not what it should.
