Select view object after navigation [message #1420009]

Hi,

Is it possible to select a view of a semantic element after performing navigation?

Using a Navigate action with a Browse expression I can open a representation that contains a view of the selected semantic element.
Is it now possible to select or highlight the view object corresponding to the semantic element that initiated the navigation?

Thank you,
Csaba

You could make this by calling java code.
Have a look to SessionLinkHelper.activateEditor(IWorkbenchPage,
IStructuredSelection) [1] as starting point, it will be probably useful.

Hi Laurent,

Thank you for the quick reply.

How can I use the class you mentioned?
Do I need to make my own contribution to the context menu as org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.internal.menu.NavigateToMenuContribution does,
or there is a way to do this from the VSM?

Regards,
Csaba

This class is just an example of selection of DDiagramElement from
semantic elements (amongst others). You have to make your own service
that does what you want. And you can draw inspiration from this class.

Hi Laurent,

Thank you for your help. Following your guidance I created my first IExternalJavaAction and added it to a PopupMenu tool.
By combining the Java code of SessionLinkHelper and NavigateToCommand I can now open a named representation and select view corresponding to a semantic element.

Best regards,
Csaba
