Removing a connection between two nodes [message #209833]

Hey,

how I can remove a connection between two nodes?

I like to remove the connection and the reference and it should not be
visible anymore?!

The nodes must not be deleted.

I tried also with DestroyElementRequest, but my connection has not a
model-element. It is null.

Have you any idea?

Anything else, I can only use GMF 2.0.2

Best regards,
Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,

Sorry for the incorrect pointer in my first letter. Actually, we are destroying
edges using this code snippet:

protected Command getDestroyElementCommand(View view) {
EditPart editPart = (EditPart) getHost().getViewer().getEditPartRegistry().get(view);
DestroyElementRequest request = new DestroyElementRequest(getEditingDomain(),
false);
return editPart.getCommand(new EditCommandRequestWrapper(request, Collections.EMPTY_MAP));
}

In other words, use DestroyElementRequest without any parameters and send
it to the proper link EditPart to get the command back.
