When getCreateCommand() will be called? [message #162680]

If I write getCreateCommand() like this:
protected Command getCreateCommand(CreateRequest request) {
/*CreateCommand command = new CreateCommand();

Rectangle constraint = (Rectangle) getConstraintFor(request);

HelloModel model = (HelloModel) request.getNewObject();

model.setConstraint(constraint);

command.setContentsModel(getHost().getModel());
command.setHelloModel(model);
return command;*/
return null;
}
GEF will stop me dragging the component from palette to the
EditPartViewer,has this method been called before my operation?Otherwise
how could system know that this method returns null and should reject this
operation?

Thank you :)

If you're doing click-and-drop, it will. But not with drag-and-drop (which
is native). Set a breakpoint in that method to see when it's being called.

Do you have a TemplateTransferDropTarget on your graphical viewer? Put a
breakpoint in its handleDragOver or whatever the method is called.
