Command Core Expressions [message #253934]

Hi all.

I have spent a frustrating day trying to grasp the concepts of the
command core expressions. A few things like using activeEdiorId etc seem
to work fine. But I am simply unable to set handler
enablement/activation using the "instance of" expression and "test"
expressions. Also the entire declarative approach to these expressions
appears to be highly confusing. Can anyone point me to a few
tutorials/articles on the same. I have already checked

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Command_Core_Expressions
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_Command_Framework
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menu_Contributions

Reading the above I have been able to get some hang about this, but am
still not in a position to fully comprehend and understand the core
expressions.

Can someone help?

Regards,
Anup

Hey Anup,

I can only give an enablement example. The action is enabled when the
selected element in an the UML2 editor is a "org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Model".
I can understand your desperation, I was very happy when I got this to work.
Maybe the best way to check how things work is to just copy from example
or also bigger plugins.
