Hello Everyone,

In my project each shape has certain properties that are chosen from a
list. I would like to replace the text box in the properties view with a
combo box. Can anyone point me to a tutorial showing how to add a combo
box to the properties view or some sample code?

Thanks,
MS

replace PropertyDescriptor or TextPropertyDescriptor to
ComboBoxPropertyDescriptor for the model element you want to change.

e.g:

class MyModel implements IPropertySource
{
protected static IPropertyDescriptor[] descriptors = new
IPropertyDescriptor[]{
new new PropertyDescriptor(PROPERTY_ID, PROPERTY_LABEL),
//COMBO you like to select color
new ComboBoxPropertyDescriptor(COLOR_PROPERTY_ID,
COLOLR_PROPERTY_LABEL, new String[]{"WHITE", "BLACK", "PINK"});
}
......
.....
public IPropertyDescriptor[] getPropertyDescriptors(){
return descriptors;
}
}

I made the change that you suggested David, but it didn't actually create
the combo box. I just have a blank cell in my properties view. What am I
missing?
