Colors and Fonts for EditParts [message #227286]

Hi,

I would like to enable editing of font and colors for a figure using the
menu (dropdown and menubar). It's works for some the EditParts that
extend ShapeNodeEditPart but not for those that extend
ConnectionNodeEditPart. I can't figure out where to set this property.

Can anyone tell me where to enable this?

Thank you in advance

Hello Steve,

Instead of setting some properties to an EditPart I suggest you modifying
corresponding notation model elements. You can call:

<StyleClass> style = View.getStyle(<StyleClass>.class);

and then use
FontStyle/LineStyle methods to mofigy font/color properties of the diagram
elements.

Thanks for your answer,

Not sure to understand. My problem is not to programatically change
those properties but to enable end-user manipulation of the connections
through the graphical user interface as done for the shapes.

The shape-based figures allow to change their line-color in the GUI
using the Diagram menu or the menu bar but not the connection-based figures.

Thanks again for helping me.

Hello Steve,

I can see these menu items available if i select a connection. Steps to repeat:
- open ecore sample diagram
- create two classes and association link in between
- select this link
- see "Line color" drop-down available on diagram toolbar..
