Setting active tool from palette [message #233300] Fri, 20 April 2007 16:47 Go to next message

Hi,

How can I set active tool from palette ?
(scenario is as follows: user activates tool "A", when he selects only one
model object I'd like to force switching active editor tool from tool "A"
to tool "B")

My editor main class is derived from GraphicalEditorWithFlyoutPalette. I
know that PaletteViewer class provides API that I need, but I don't know
how I should initialize and configure Palette Viewer instance to work
with my editor...

Any help will be appreciated!

Regards,
Max

Hi Max,

There should be an example of the feature you're asking about in GEF
example editors (Logic and Geoshape). For example when you create
something on the diagram, (i.e. select shape on the palette and then click
on the diagram to put the shape on the diagram) note that the active tool
becomes selection tool instead of the creation tool. Just take a quick
look at CreationTool#handleFinished() (at getDomain().loadDefaultTool())
and track the things happening. On the palette viewer use setActiveTool().
Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Alex
