Hi,

I am providing user option to create subprocess in my Sirius digram, so subprocess will be another diagram so for Navigation , i am using Navigation tool from configuration so i had to create button in .odesign file only, can someone explain how can we do same thing pro-grammatically. so that we can provide a better UI to create and Navigate on subprocess. {PFA: Navigation Tool }

Hello,

I am not sure to understand the part where you had to create a button in the odesign. If you create a navigation tool, the new action will be available in the contextual menu when you right click on the element where you want to create a sub diagram.
Anyway, if you want to create a representation programmatically, you can use the API DialectManager.INSTANCE.createRepresentation(String name, EObject semantic, RepresentationDescription description, Session session, IProgressMonitor monitor). This will create the representation in the graphical model (.aird). After that to open the representation in an editor you can use the API DialectUIManager.INSTANCE.openEditor(Session session, DRepresentation dRepresentation, IProgressMonitor monitor).

Best regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I want to give user a option to navigate to already existing diagram, that 's why i created a button to view and navigate to subprocess {i.e. diagram}.
I am attaching another snap which might clear my requirement.

Thanks and Regards

Hello,

Ok, good idea.
For information, on a diagram (let's call it D1), if a displayed element is the root of another diagram (let's call it D2) then on the parent diagram (D1) the element will have a diagram decorator on the bottom right. When you right click on the element, there will be a menu "Open" with all the diagram where this semantic element is to root.

Best regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Can we do same thing pragmatically which Navigation tool is doing, because navigation tool is not opening subprocess which resides in different diagram.
I want generic code which takes Diagram Object and open it is different editor and if it is already open then just navigate to that editor.

Thanks and Regards

Hello,

You can open a representation programmatically using the API: org.eclipse.sirius.ui.business.api.dialect.DialectUIManager.INSTANCE.openEditor(session, representation, monitor). I don't remember if it will focus on the editor if it was already opened, but this API returns an IEditorPart if you need to.

Best regards,
Steve
