EMF Command for parent child [message #900022] Fri, 03 August 2012 09:36 Go to next message

Hi,

Is there an emf command that I can use to move a child from a parent object (eContainer) to another parent?

I can easily do this directly on the model: parent.eList.remove() and then newParent.eList.add(), but I was told not to directly edit the model in this way. Instead, I should always use emf commands.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

you can use AddCommand. You only need to add the object to the new parent, it will automatically be removed from its old parent's container list.

Tim,

It will be automatically removed, because the model does that, but if
you undo, it won't be put back because the AddCommand doesn't know about
the removal. So you have to compose a RemoveCommand and an AddCommand.

Oh, right, sorry. Fore some reason I thought AddCommand would remember the old container.

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for your answers.
I have put the RemoveCommand and the AddCommand inside a CompoundCommand such that they are executed together when doing undo/redo. Works like a charm Smile

Grtz,
Tom
