Hi all,

I need a dialog to appear in my diagram editor (during execution of
create/delete command) that will allow to define correct data binding
(references) for changed model data (not just destroy connections and
elements as it happens now in GMF).
What I need in this dialog is probably 3 lists: first one for data of
element type 1, second - for data of element type 2 and third list for
"mapped" elements.
Maybe someone knows which *Dialog can be used for such data binding? Or any
other ideas how to perform it in a user-friendly way?

I think you should do this by editing your binding string value in an
appropriate property sheet, existing for these kind of means.
If you really need to pop a dialog in the moment of eobject creation you
should have a look in the object edit part, and place a form popping out
right there.
Anyway, I'm little more than a newbie in gmf ;)

Hi Paolo,

it's not user-friendly in my case, because user will have to click on each
diagram element un update the same property for each element. It isn't
comfortable...
Any other ideas? :)

what we do is implementing an additional plugin, a "view", in this view we
place our binding list, and to set a binding on a node, all we have to do
is to drag and drop from the view to the node. Of course you have to
implement the drag & drop listener.
