I want to change the backgroud color of the an editpart when i click on
it so i've written this code in createEditPolicies of my editpart:

installEditPolicy(EditPolicy.SELECTION_FEEDBACK_ROLE,
new SelectionEditPolicy(){
protected void hideSelection() {
((AntennaFigure)getFigure()).setOpaque(true);
((AntennaFigure)getFigure()).setBackgroundColor(org.eclipse. draw2d.ColorConstants.black);

}

protected void showSelection() {
((AntennaFigure)getFigure()).setOpaque(false);
((AntennaFigure)getFigure()).setBackgroundColor(org.eclipse. draw2d.ColorConstants.white);
}

});

When i click on the figure that rappresent my editpart notthing appends
and the code of showSelection is never executed.

My way is correct?
What 's the best way to do this?
When an editPart is Selected? on mouse click?

Thank's
Michele

hi

My way to do it would be to create a resizableEditPolicy
and override the method
protected IFigure createDragSourceFeedbackFigure()
where you create the feedback figure (that would be the same figure with
a different background)

protected IFigure createDragSourceFeedbackFigure()

Thank you for your reply David,
i've try with your way but when i click or double click on the figure
the code of createDragSourceFeedbackFigure() is never executed.
I've register it as EditPolicy.SELECTION_FEEDBACK_ROLE.
How do you register it?

So ....
i'm registering it from the parent layoutEditPolicy from the method
createChildEditPolicy.. if you have a look to the Logic diagram example
you will find in the class
org.eclipse.gef.examples.logicdesigner.edit.LogicXYLayoutEdi tPolicy the
way to do it :

protected EditPolicy createChildEditPolicy(EditPart child) {
if (child instanceof LEDEditPart
|| child instanceof OutputEditPart) {
ResizableEditPolicy policy = new LogicResizableEditPolicy();
policy.setResizeDirections(0);
return policy;
} else if (child instanceof LogicLabelEditPart) {
ResizableEditPolicy policy = new LogicResizableEditPolicy();
policy.setResizeDirections(PositionConstants.EAST |
PositionConstants.WEST);
return policy;
}

return new LogicResizableEditPolicy();
}

thank's David for your replay,
I've find this solution :
i've register my SelectionEditPolicy as EditPolicy.SELECTION_FEEDBACK_ROLE.
then in the edit part i've add a EditPartListener and implement his
selectedStateChanged method where i change the background of figure.
I don't know if this is the right way to do that but it work.

Bye
Michele

correction:
It works without register the policy.
In the deactivate method of editpart i must remove the listener
otherwise an errror will be generated.
