I would like to open an InputDialog when the user creates a new child
using a creation tool. So I tried to place the call to
InputDialog.open() in the execute() method of my command and everything
works - more or less.
The problem is that the command should not be executed at all if the
user clicks on the cancel button... But how to accomplish this?
Opening the dialog in execute() is too late because canExecute() already
returned true. Opening the dialog in canExecute() is not possible
because canExecute() gets invoked whenever the user moves the mouse.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Commands should only deal with the model anyway. A better way is to create
your own tool that would pop-up the dialog, gather all the information from
it and pass it to the command, and then execute the command only if
canExecute(). You can subclass CreationTool and override performCreation().
Then set the correct tool class on your entry on the palette.
