Hi there,

I embedded an emf forms generated view in my Editor (type: org.eclipse.ui.part.EditorPart).

This is my createPartControl how integrate the generated view.

@Override
	public void createPartControl(Composite parent)
	{

		try {
			final Composite content = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);
			content.setBackground(parent.getDisplay().getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_WHITE));
			content.setLayout(GridLayoutFactory.fillDefaults().margins(10, 10).create());
			content.setLayoutData(GridDataFactory.fillDefaults().create());

			final ViewModelContext vmc = ViewModelContextFactory.INSTANCE.createViewModelContext(
				ViewProviderHelper.getView(object, null), object, new DefaultReferenceService());

			ecpView = ECPSWTViewRenderer.INSTANCE.render(content, vmc);
			content.layout();
		} catch (final ECPRendererException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		parent.layout();

	}



How can i implement now the doSave method?
Is there an example how to implement the setDirty() mechanism and a doSave() in a correct way.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

yes in the new release stream, EMF Forms contains a ready to use Editor.
It is fully generic, so it works with any kind of emf model. You need to
install it from the latest milestone build, though (1.8.x)
https://www.eclipse.org/ecp/emfforms/download.html

You can either have a look at it to see how it is implemented:

https://git.eclipse.org/c/emfclient/org.eclipse.emf.ecp.core.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.emfforms.editor/src/org/eclipse/emfforms/spi/editor/GenericEditor.java?h=develop

Or you can just use it, by registering it for you file extension:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
<editor
class="org.eclipse.emfforms.spi.editor.GenericEditor"
default="true"
extensions="myModel"
id="org.eclipse.emf.ecp.makeithappen.model.editor.myEditor"
name="My Model Editor">
</editor>
</extension>
</plugin>

With this registration, all files with the *.myModel extension will be
opened using the generic EMFForms Editor

Best regards

Jonas

Ok thank you.

I'll try your suggestion right away.

But if I don't want the to use the GenericEditor, how do i implement my doSave() method correctly?

The renderer returns an ECPSWTView and i have the possibility to get an swt control. How can i access every single control to create something like:

object.setA(textFieldA.getText())

Hi,

the save is handled by the resource, which contains the EObjects you
render with EMF Forms. EMF Forms does not even have to know about this.

Best regards

Jonas

Did you ever figure out how to save changes with your custom editor?

EMF Forms looks awesome but I haven't quite figured out how to integrate it with the EMF edit domain and make sure that the two-way binding plugs into the the command stack. If anyone could point me to an example, I would be grateful. In the meantime, I will study the generic editor. Thanks.

Hi Jonas,

I upgraded from EMF Forms 1.7.x that comes with Mars to 1,8.x as suggested and added the editor extension as suggested (org.eclipse.emfforms.spi.editor.GenericEditor) but the class is not found. I show ECP SDK 3.x and EMF Forms SDK 1.8.0.20160208-2127 installed. Any idea what I did wrong? Is the editor in another plugin that I need to install? Thanks!

Finally a success! I found the class org.eclipse.emfforms.internal.editor.ecore.EcoreEditor that extends org.eclipse.emfforms.spi.editor.GenericEditor, but GenericEditor doesn't show up in my classpath. Regardless, I now can see and use the generic ecore editor. Very nice! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks you all so much.

Wow Jonas! That blog posting is hot off the press. Thank you so much. It describes exactly what I was looking for. I am more than happy to provide feedback as we start using the editor. BTW, the genmodel editor is nice too!
