Binding Ecore model object to ECP form custom control [message #1713131] Sun, 01 November 2015 05:11 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I am using Ecore modeled objects with forms that contain ECP custom controls. I open the first object in my ECP form. While it is still active, I open a second object in a second instance of the same ECP form. Viewing the second object, when I click on the custom control, it now has the first object. The call to retrieve the object from the modelRef, getValue(modelRef), seems to return the lastRerencedObject? How do I get the object that the form was opened with? What am I doing wrong?

Here is my custom control Editor class:

public class PrivilegesEditor extends ECPAbstractCustomControlSWT {

private FormToolkit toolkit;
private Composite privilegeArea;

/**
* The constructor.
*/
public PrivilegesEditor() {
}

@Override
protected void disposeCustomControl() {
if (!privilegeArea.isDisposed()) {
privilegeArea.dispose();
}

}

@Override
protected void handleContentValidation() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

@Override
public SWTGridDescription getGridDescription() {
return GridDescriptionFactory.INSTANCE.createSimpleGrid(1, 1, null);
}

@Override
public Control renderControl(SWTGridCell cell, Composite parent)
throws NoRendererFoundException, NoPropertyDescriptorFoundExeption {

VDomainModelReference modelRef = getResolvedDomainModelReference(SqladminPackage.eINSTANCE
.getSQLObjectWithPrivileges_Privileges());
EObjectContainmentWithInverseEList<Privilege> value = (EObjectContainmentWithInverseEList<Privilege>) getValue(modelRef);
SQLObjectWithPrivileges eobject = (SQLObjectWithPrivileges) value
.getEObject();

toolkit = new FormToolkit(parent.getDisplay());

privilegeArea = toolkit.createComposite(parent);
toolkit.adapt(privilegeArea);
privilegeArea.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, false));
privilegeArea
.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true));

boolean onlyShowRoles = false;
PrivilegesComposite privComp = new PrivilegesComposite(privilegeArea,
SWT.NONE, eobject, onlyShowRoles);
privComp.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));
privilegeArea.layout();

return privilegeArea;
}

}

------------

-thanks,

Hi,
I don't get whats going on. You write:
"I open the first object in my ECP form. While it is still active, I open a second object in a second instance of the same ECP form. "
So you have called:
ECPSWTViewRenderer.INSTANCE.render() once or twice?
Did you reuse your View Model for both render steps?

Cheers,
Eugen

It invokes the ECPSWTViewRenderer.INSTANCE.render() twice, once for each domain object, theObject, passing the same viewModel.

ECPSWTViewRenderer.INSTANCE.render(parent, theObject, viewModel);

Yes, using the same viewModel but different domain objects.

It isn't until I invoke our ECP Custom Control and the renderControl() is called and it goes to return the domain object that it seems to get confused and the wrong one is returned.

Hi Francine,
The problem is the reuse of the view model. EMFForms stores some information during rendering in the view model. This is especially the case for the resolved EObjects (so the concrete EObject reachable by the DomainModelReference).
You need to use a second ViewModel for the second render step.

Is there a reason you reused the ViewModel?

Cheers,
Eugen

Thank you for the reply.
At start up, we create a Hashmap of the various view models. We have one for "create" and one for "display" for each of our forms. Then when we want to render a form, we get the model for the associated object, either the "create" or the "display" version. We are trying to show two different objects in two separate instances of the same form that use the same "display" view model? How is this done?

Hi Francine,
you can always return a copy of the view model you need using EcoreUtil.copy(myViewModel) .

Take a look at XMIViewModelProvider .

Why don't you use the XMIViewModelProvider directly?

Cheers,
Eugen
