displaying graph in popup window [message #168557]

Hi -- I'm trying to display a graphical editor in a popup window (shell),
but am not seeing its graph when I do a shell.open(). Has anyone tried to
do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks -- james barnett

I had got a Graphical viewer embedded in a dialog.
Hopefully it should be the same for a shell as well.
The following are the basic things that need to be done

//instantiate the viewer
ScrollingGraphicalViewer graphicalViewer = new ScrollingGraphicalViewer();

//Create the control
Control control = graphicalViewer.createControl(parentComposite);

//Set the edit Part factory
graphicalViewer.setEditPartFactory(new GraphicalEditPartsFactory());

//Set the root edit part
graphicalViewer.setRootEditPart(new FreeformGraphicalRootEditPart());

//Set the edit domain
graphicalViewer.setEditDomain(new DefaultEditDomain(null));

//set the command stack
graphicalViewer.getEditDomain().setCommandStack(new CommandStack());

I am guessing you should have done this.
If it doesn't shup up then you might need to check whether you have set
a layout for the parent composite.
Not setting the layout also causes the components to not display.
