PaletteCustomizer. save implementation [message #156614]

I have a PaletteCustomizer with which it is possible to add nodes and =

connections to the palette. Now I have to implement the =

PaletteCustomizer.save() method.

How do i access the palette`s model? I have no idea how the palette is =
=

implemented internally...

I guess I have to pass to my Customizer the paletteroot or the =

paletteviewer and then acces the palette`s model somehow from there.

Any tips? pointers to the right classes to look at?

The palette root IS the model. Or rather, the children of the palette root
are the model.

I see. Thanks. Dumb question.
The PaletteRoot has all the PaletteEntry items.
What i needed was to access the regular Model classes that are passed to=
=

the Entries via the factories. But i already found a solution by =

subclassing PaletteEntry.

Do you have to subclass the entry, or can't you write your own factory
types? I'm not sure I understand what you were trying to access. Our
factory implementation returns the class in getObjectType().

I have a generic NodeModel which is passed parameters in its factory.
In the palette i want the palette-entry and the parameters for the model=

that it creates to be editable. I.e. you can change the parameters of t=
he =

model that the entry creates in the palette customizer.

So i subclass the ToolEntry with MyNodeToolEntry and provide access to t=
he =

parameters that are given to the NodeModels factory.

Ok. That makes sense when you bring the customizer into the picture. Of
course, you might implement save() by inspecting the entries and their
factory's parameters. But it's all the same.
