Hallo,
Is there any way to put buttons instead of cells in the properties view
and of course get notification for pressing them.
Best Regards,
Stanislav

Stanislav,

Have a look at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF/Recipes#Recipe:_Create_your_own_ property_editor_in_a_generated_application
and also at DialogCellEditor.

It looks as nice solution but unfortunately my diagram never even execute
the editor code generated by the .genmodel. How can I force it to work?

Stanislav,

In the editor you have, find where it creates the properties view and
apply this same solution there. It's created like this in the base
class of the generated GMF editor so I imagine you'll need to override
that. I've not looked closely at the details...

/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see
org.eclipse.core.runtime.IAdaptable#getAdapter(java.lang.Cla ss)
*/
public Object getAdapter(Class type) {
if (type == IPropertySheetPage.class) {
return new PropertiesBrowserPage(this);
}
return super.getAdapter(type);
}

Hi,
As i said i founded where the properties view is created but i just can't
get my properties to show in a customed way. every thing is fine before
the method setPropertySourceProvider which in my opinion doesn't even
executes. I don't get any exception but the properties view is blank. Can
you please help me.

Stanislav,

My psychic debugging skills have limits. The debugger is your best
friend. You've looked in the Error Log view? You've set breakpoints on
your property source provider's method to see what's being called. If
you set breakpoints in the default one that works, you can see what code
paths get you there and hence can look at how those function when you
inject your alternative.

}
Sorry for wasting your time but i really got stuck. In this code where and
how should i call the overridden methods. Because as my inspections showed
that they are never called?

Stanislav,

Did you override getAdatper? Where is this "set" being called?

Yes in the main edir class of *.diagram.part. and this is the overridden
getAdapter
@Override
public Object getAdapter(Class type) {
if (type.equals(IPropertySheetPage.class)) {
MindmapEditor editor = new MindmapEditor();
return editor.getPropertySheetPage();
} else
return super.getAdapter(type);
}
and the set method i called inside getPropertySheetPage();

This looks like bad news. You need to create a new property sheet page
here, not create some editor and then try to reuse that other editor's
property sheet page for this editor. Copy the code that's in your base
class and try change how the new PropertiesBrowserPage(this) is
initialized. I can't help you with that because I don't know how these
tabbed properties views work. So I'll just stop answering your
questions and assume that someone with GMF knowledge will help.

I think I solved the case. There is class *PropertySection where we have
if (af != null) {
IItemPropertySource ips = (IItemPropertySource) af.adapt(object,
IItemPropertySource.class);
if (ips != null) {
return new PropertySource(object, ips);
}
}
just change of return new PropertySource(object, ips); with
return new CustomizedPropertySource(object, ips);
and then you can try the second part of the article
