Create a connection on a newly created object [message #191315]

Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out how to create a connection between two newly
created nodes. The node creation works fine, but I don't know how to get
the nodes I just created in order to use them to create the connection.

I can get the View, with the code below:
final CreateViewRequest cRequest = ...
... (create the node)
IAdaptable adapter = (IAdaptable) ((List) cRequest.getNewObject()).get(0);
View view = (View) adapter.getAdapter(View.class);

But I don't know where to go from there to get the EditPart(s) I need for
the connection. Any tips in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Did you already have a look on the third part of the GMF tutorial?

http://wiki.eclipse.org/GMF_Tutorial_Part_3#Custom_Actions

I think this is exactly what you need.

Tobias
