Add child element to compartment on creation [message #234924]

Hi,

Does anybody know how can i get the following functionality:

I have a parent control that can contain children (it stores them in a
container). Can i add one child immediately on creation of the parent
control?

Somebody once suggested the use of the Feature Seq Initializer in the
gmfmap, but i don't know how to do that.

Thank you

Hello Josip,

It looks reasonable to use FeatureSequenceInitializers. Try to create following
structure in .gmfmap file:

- FeatureSeqInitializer
- Reference new element spec (specify containment feature for a child you
have to create here)
- Feature Seq Initializer (specify child element metalcass here)

Hi, thank you

I've tried that all ready but i failed because i didn't go deep enough (i
also had to setup initialized child), but now everything is ok.

Thanks
