How to force Direct Edit? [message #211769]

Hi ...
I already have direct edit by selecting and then by clicking an item.

I would also like to be able to force direct edit when I use the creation
tool. Therefore as soon as I create an item the text box I am using for
direct edit will appear .

Anyone know if this is possible?

thanks

Martin

you coudl override performCreate(), and send a DirectEditRequest to the
selected part, or invoke the direct edit action if you can get hold of it.

Thanks that worked perfectly!

public class DirectEditCreationTool extends CreationTool {

private Request directEditRequest = new
Request(RequestConstants.REQ_DIRECT_EDIT);

public DirectEditCreationTool() {
super();
}

public DirectEditCreationTool(CreationFactory aFactory) {
super(aFactory);
}

protected void performCreation(int button) {
super.performCreation(button);
EditPartViewer viewer = getCurrentViewer();
final Object model = getCreateRequest().getNewObject();
if (model == null || viewer == null)
return;
Object editpart = viewer.getEditPartRegistry().get(model);
if (editpart instanceof EditPart) {
EditPart part = (EditPart)editpart;
part.performRequest(directEditRequest);
}
}

}
