Display properties of an eObject (EMF) [message #683651]

Tue, 14 June 2011 03:32

Hello everybody,

I built a treeviewer containing eObject elements (in fact, the treeviewer contains DiffElement elements, a class I created. This DiffElement contains an eObject).

I would like to display properties (in the properties view) of the eObject (of the DiffElement) I select in the tree.

Do my DiffElement have to implement IPropertySource?
And how I have to proceed?

Thanks very much!

Hi Renaud,

You can check how the sample ecore reflective editor works.
Selection of any element gets shows the properies of that in the properties view.

Plus the edit framework generates the property sources for you.You need not do anything here.

cheers,
Saurav

I have a listener on the tree that allows me to do operations on the DiffElement selected, but I don't really konw how to get properties of the eObject (attribute of this DiffElement), and display it in the properties view?

Sorry for my poor knowledge of this part of Java and EMF.

Thanks!

By contains do you mean a containment reference?

So the EObject itself isn't displayed in the tree but rather it's a
non-containment reference displayed in the properties view?

Have a look at
GenBaseItemProvider.GenItemPropertyDescriptor.createPropertyValueWrapper.
That's what makes properties of the GenModel in the Generator that are
references to the Ecore model have a little + to be able to expand the
properties of the Ecore model

Thanks for the answer!

The EObject is an attribute of my DiffElement.
Actually, my class DiffElement implements the IPropertySource, and simply, I have to used methods from the IPropertySource, and everything is ok!

Thanks for your help!
If someone want more details about how I proceeded, don't hesitate to ask me!

See you,

Renaud

Renaud,

Yes implementing IPropertySource would do the trick too (because then an
adapter isn't needed). It's just that most folks don't want to mix such
UI things into their model implementation...

Hi Renaud,

I would be interested to know how you did in details ; indeed I have exactly the same implementation as you have (TreeObject elements for a TreeViewer, containing EObjects).

I implemented IPropertySource, but was not able to display dynamically the properties of each EObject.

Thank you,

Guilhem
