Thanks for all the help I'm getting here!

Hi Alessander,

I don't know how other's do it, but I gave the figure that contains the
compartment a custom layout, which sets the compartment's size to 0 if
it is empty. However, for this I always check the model element to see
if it contains elements in that compartment. To do this I had to pass
the edit part that corresponds to the laid out figure to the very same
when it is created. Maybe there is an easier way to check if a
compartment is empty.

Regards,
Matthias

Hi
I have never done it on my own but in gmfgen ,find your gen compartment
,find the "Hide If Empty" property and simply set it true.
It may work.

Thanks for the suggestion,
"Hide If Empty" was set true, but it don't makes the compartment invisible.

Hi Matthias, thank you very much!
But setting the compartment's size to 0 does not makes it totally
invisible in my case, maybe because it has a Stack Layout...
So, I have a different solution: Suppose my metamodel has an EClass named
"C" having an EReference named "attribute" which is the Containemnt
Feature of the compartment named "AttributeCompartment" in the gmfgraph
file:

(i) add "view.setVisible(false);" in the end of the method
decorateView(...) in CAttributeCompartmentViewFactory.java:
protected void decorateView(View containerView, View view, IAdaptable
semanticAdapter, String semanticHint, int index, boolean persisted) {
...
view.setVisible(false);
}

(ii) create a method handleNotificationEvent(Notification event) in
CEdidPart.java:
protected void handleNotificationEvent(Notification event) {
getPrimaryShape().updateContents();
super.handleNotificationEvent(event);
}

(iii) create the method updateContents() inside the class CFigure in
CEdidPart.java (substitute "???" for the name of your GMF project):
private void updateContents() {
CEditPart ceditpart = CEditPart.this;
C element = (C) ceditpart.resolveSemanticElement();
EditPart compartmentEditPart =
getChildBySemanticHint(???.diagram.part.???VisualIDRegistry. getType(???.diagram.edit.parts.CAttributeCompartmentEditPart .VISUAL_ID));
if (compartmentEditPart != null) {
if (element.getAttribute().size() == 0) \\ where getAttribute() refers to
EReference "attribute".
((View) compartmentEditPart.getModel()).setVisible(false);
else
((View) compartmentEditPart.getModel()).setVisible(true);
}
}

Best regards

Hi,

You could try overriding the figure for compartment. Override isVisible()
method on the figure. Make it return false if children are empty. Children
of the compartment, however, won't be direct children... you'd have to go
down a couple of levels to reach them.

Cheers,
Alex
