Hi,
Let's assume I have a node (e.g. state in an statemachine) and each node has a label. I have created a DirectLabelEdit tool so that the user can click on the node/state and edit/change its label.
I was wondering if it is possible to automatically go to the label edit mode and user just write the label , i.e. without needing to click on the label and then edit the text! I feel this is an extra step for the user to first put the node and then click on its label and THEN goes to label edit mode! So, I want to omit the "click" part!
Thanks,
Parsa

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
I don't actually want it when the selection changes. If you remember, when you use GMF diagram editor, when you add a transition between two nodes in the diagram, it automatically waits for the user to input the transition name and then hit enter. I mean, wehn you insert a transition on the diagram, the default behaviour should be going to the label editing mode and waiting for the user to enter the transition label (e.g. event) .
However, in Sirius, when you create a transition, it places the transition on the diagram with a default label on it and then the user must press F2 or click on it to be able to edit it.
All I want to do is to going with the editing mode immediately after adding a transition and wait for the user to enter his/her text as a label (that was also in GMF previously).
I hope it is clear now 
Thanks,
Bests,
Parsa

Hi Parsa,
Ok I understand better, we could imagine several possibilities :
- At creation when the created view is selected, you can direct edit the
label by typing label directly and the old label will be replaced by
what user typed. At creation time this can be sufficient for you as
there is no old label.
- Before the node creation, have a dialog to input the label of the
future created node. You can do that by defining an 'Expression
Variable' in your node creation tool, see [1].
Is it answer to your need?
Best Regards.

Hi Esteban,
Thanks again for your reply.
I don't think what you suggested is what is suitable for me. Consider the two attached images.
1:
2:
Image 1, shows what Sirius currently does when I create a new transition, for example t5. I have managed to preset the transition label and it automatically places a transition with the name pattern I suggested.
Image 2, is what I need immediately after placing a transition (e.g. for t5), which is bring the transition label to edit mode, and then select all the text. This is the default behavior of GMF.
What I think is that I can write a java service to be run immediately and invoke edit command of the transition (or something like that)!
Or, I write a java service which shows a jForm/jDialogue to the user and the user can set the label in a text box.
Or, I can manage to show a JDialog box in the semantic code (EMF part) that when a label is being created, the dialog box appear ?!
Which one do you advise ?
BTW, your following suggestion doesn't work for me.
"- At creation when the created view is selected, you can direct edit the
label by typing label directly and the old label will be replaced by
what user typed. At creation time this can be sufficient for you as
there is no old label."
It is because if the start to type, then all the label pattern that I have provided as a transition label will be deleted.
Thanks,
Bests,
Parsa
