Adding features dynamically [message #1267239] Sat, 08 March 2014 13:05 Go to next message

Hi

Is there a simple way to call the FeatureProvider to populate the toolbox/palette dynamically before starting up the diagram ?

Hi,

you can override getPalette in the Tool Behavior Provider. The default
implementation simply adds tools for all create features to the palette.

Hi

But the problem is i have to pass a model to the createFeatureProvider to decide what to be included in the diagram toolbox is there any way to instantiate a custom DiagramtypeProvider for a given diagram and set it to the corresponding diagram or editor before starting it up ?

You can pass a DiagramTypeProvider id in the DiagramEditorInput to open an
editor. Does that help in your case?

Not quite, i still wont be able to pass any parameter to it so the FeatureProvider wont know how to generate the CreateFeatures needed when its called by the DiagramTypeProvider "SetFeatureProvider"

Right now i declare this parameter as a global variable but a possibility to pass a parameter to either the DiagramTypeProvider or FeatureProvider would be much better to understand and maintain

Yes, but you could have different DiagramTypeProviders, each creating the
right set of features.
