Index of model element with in a container [message #1779432]

Hi,

I am working on EMF for a couple of months now. I have a small concern regarding the index of the element position within a container.

Eg.

Company ABC
-------Employee 1
-------Employee 2

Now I want to know the index of Employee 2. I am working on a scenario of handling the movement of elements within a container and I need to know the index of the element to capture the move.

Appreciate your help in advance.

Regards,
Manoj

Assuming there are no feature maps involved in the model, then for any EObject x, if x.eContainer() != null && x.eContainerFeature() .isMany() you can get the index via ((List<?>)x.eContainer().eGet(x.eContainmentFeature())).indexOf(x) to compute its index within the container's containment feature that contains the object. Note that a move notification has the information about the old and the new index of any moves you might do...
