Add sth.to the palette view [message #499542] Mon, 23 November 2009 05:20 Go to next message

Hello,
I am reading tutorials and articles about GEF. At the moment I am trying to program an simple GEF plugin for painting rectangles and ellipses...
Now I want to add some items in the palette view. But unfortunately it does not work the way I like.
Nothing will be displayed..

I extend the GraphicalEditorWithPalette class in my MainEditor and have overwritten the getRootPalette function:

protected PaletteRoot getPaletteRoot() {
		PaletteRoot root = new PaletteRoot();
		//root.add(new SelectionToolEntry());
		//root.add(new MarqueeToolEntry());
		PaletteGroup group = new PaletteGroup("tools");
		group.add(new SelectionToolEntry());
		group.add(new MarqueeToolEntry());
		root.add(group);
		return root;
	}


The platte view always says that it is not availiable...

I don't really know what the problem is so a would appreciate any help.

Best regards
Alex

Hello,

the palette is only available if you open an file associated with your
MainEditor. The way you initialize the palette seems correct for me. You
can try with a breakpoint that the method is called when you open a file
for your MainEditor.

best regards,
