Hello,
I've been trying out EMF Forms in an RCP application and it does indeed seem like a very quick way to create a data bound form.

So now I want to add some more action oriented features to my form.
In particular I want to add a button, provide a popup menu on a table and I want the property view to be able to pick up selection events from a table.

I created a Custom Control containing a push button but I found that it needed a Custom Domain Model Reference and that Custom Domain Model Reference had to provide a VFeaturePathDomainModelReference/DomainModelEFeature.
Is there any way to avoid the need for the DomainModelEFeature as my push button isn't really associated with a feature?

I've had a look at TableControlSWTRenderer and ECPSWTView but I can't work out how I should hook a popup menu into them or hook into selection events. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
Phil

Hi,

is the button somehow connected with the table? If so, I would override
the default table renderer and provide your own implementation which
adds the Button and also handles the selection as you need it to.

Best Regards
