select an editpart from the outline? [message #528900]

Hello,
I work on an application that use EMF and GEF.
I want that when I select an element from the outline, the appropriate editpart should be selected in the GEF page.

I modified the method generated by EMF : handleContentOutlineSelection(ISelection selection)
so that it informs the GEF page about the selected model
for that I create a method setInput(object)
((GraphicalGeditorEditor) getActiveEditor()).setInput( selectedElements.get(0))

In the Gef page I recuperate the editpart according to the model type, the problem is that I coudn't find the appropriate method to select this editpart, I tried these methods : select(editpart) reveal(editpart) setselection(Iselection) but it that doesn't work.
any Help?
thank's in advance.

How about:

GraphicalViewer viewer = getGraphicalViewer....
EditPart editPart =
(EditPart)viewer.getEditPartRegistry().get(yourDomainModelOb ject);
if(editPart != null) {
viewer.setSelection(new StructuredSelection(editPart));
}

this is perfect.
I was wrong because I didn't get the editparts from the map of registering editparts.
Thnaks a lot.
