| Subcontainer without semantic element [message #1414098] |

Hi all,
is it possible to have a container (just for grouping sub elements) without
a dedicated metamodel element?
Example use case: a class contains fields and operations. When using a
VerticalStack layout it is desired to have containers for these child
elements instead of having only a class container and direct sub nodes for
fields and operations.
My intermediate solution for this is using sub containers which have [self/]
as semantic element assigned. This works fine except that validation markers
appear on both the class container as well as the child containers.
Thus my question is how this could be improved.
TIA,
Axel

Hi Axel,
not sur I understand your question :
- If you want to customize the validation behavior, you can register you
own EValidator (standard emf validation) or add Validation Rules [1] in
your VSM
- If you want to customize the decorator
(SiriusValidationDecoratorProvider) I'm not sure this is possible. It is
contribued by the org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui plugin through the
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.decoratorProviders extension point.
Regards,
Alex
