How to programmatically call "Sapphire.Add" or "Sapphire.Browse" [message #1074018]

I'm trying to modify the ListProperty "Sapphire.Add" action to immediately call the "Sapphire.Browse" action. So far I have filtered out the "Sapphire.Add" event and replaced with my own custom ActionHandler. I would like to now call "Sapphire.Add" and Sapphire.Browse in my action handler. Is this possible?

Also let me know if this is the wrong approach. Thanks.

You will not be able to call "Sapphire.Add" from your action handler since you've filtered it out, so it "doesn't exist" in your context, but its implementation is quite simple. You just need to call insert on the list.

PropertyEditorPart listPropertyEditorPart = (PropertyEditorPart) getPart();
ElementList<?> list = (ElementList<?>) listPropertyEditorPart.property();
Element entry = list.insert();

Next, you need to locate the part corresponding to the table cell where you want to browse.

PropertyEditorPart cellPropertyEditorPart = listPropertyEditorPart.getChildPropertyEditor( entry, ListEntry.PROP_SOMETHING );

Then call browse.

cellPropertyEditorPart.getActions().getAction( "Sapphire.Browse" ).getFirstActiveHandler().execute( context );

Thanks but I'm running into an issue.

listPropertyEditorPart.getProperty() is returning the ListProperty but I can't figure out how to call insert.

what is ElementList<?> in your example?

The snippets in my prior post are based on Sapphire 0.7 API. Here is a translated version of the first snippet for 0.6.x API. The other two snippets should be the same.

PropertyEditorPart listPropertyEditorPart = (PropertyEditorPart) getPart();
ModelElementList<?> list = (ModelElementList<?>) listPropertyEditorPart.getLocalModelElement().read( listPropertyEditorPart.getProperty() );
IModelElement entry = list.insert();

Thank you. That's working for me.
