Showing GEF editor on a SWT composite [message #243307] Sat, 31 May 2008 12:05 Go to next message

Hi All,
I want to show a GEF editor on a SWT composite. Is it feasible?

I was able to show GraphicalViewer on a SWT composite. But i dont know
if showing GEF editor on a SWT composite is possible.

This is how i was able to show the GraphicalViewer on a SWT composite.

ScrollingGraphicalViewer leftViewer = new ScrollingGraphicalViewer();
leftViewer.createControl(acmeCompareSection); //acmeCompareSection is a
SWT composite
leftViewer.setRootEditPart(new ScalableFreeformRootEditPart());
leftViewer.getControl().setBackground(ColorConstants.white);
leftViewer.setEditPartFactory(getEditPartFactory());
leftViewer.setContents(getContent());


Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks,
Snehal

Hello Snehal,

I'd like to know if you have found a workaround for this? In my case,
I'm working with GMF and also I was able to show a
DiagramGraphicalViewer inside a SWT composite (by using the same
technique you indicate). However, I've also found a "dirty" way of
"moving" a GMF editor (in your case GEF) to a composite by changing the
parent or the existent editor created in a WorkbenchPage to a new parent
(your composite), simply use getControl.setParent(acmeCompareSection) in
your case). This "dirty" way works but indeed is not a good practice
given the fact the WorkBenchPage is still there and of course has
"weird" effects as expected.

It seems everybody uses the GEF/GMF editors withing WorkbenchPages.,
maybe some RCP guru can explain us how to put an EditorPart inside a
composite instead of a Workbenchpage....

Regards,
