Hello,

I want to be able to create an external label that can be resized, i.e. I
can drag
its bounding box and the text will wrap within it. However, I can't seem to
find
a way to do this. I've tried calling setTextWrap(true) (see below), but no
luck.
Has anyone managed to do this?

Thanks,

Andy

public class ElementNameFigure extends WrapLabel {

/**

* @generated

*/

public ElementNameFigure() {

this.setText("<...>");

this.setTextWrap(true);

}

}

Hi,

I think you need an editpart for your label to accomplish what you're
asking. Resizing is triggered first by the resize handles and resize drag
tracker installed on them and second by a resize edit policy installed on
your label edit part that will create a command for the request created by
the resize drag tracker.
Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Alex
