FlyoutPalette in DiagramComposite [message #1731717]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a DiagramComposite with an FlyoutPaletteComposite (I basically want the same behavior as in the DiagramEditor but I can't use the editor since I need to pass my own TransactionalEditingDomain.)

I finally managed to display the diagram next to the palette and have the flyout behavior by overriding createGraphicalViewer in DiagramBehavior, s. below. However, the palette is initially in the wrong position (WEST instead of expected EAST). Only after I click on the expand button does it go to the other side (EAST). Any ideas on how to get it working?

Cheers,

Kristine

	@Override
	protected void createGraphicalViewer(Composite parent) {
		FlyoutPaletteComposite flyoutPaletteComposite = new FlyoutPaletteComposite(parent, SWT.NONE,
				swisslabEditor.getActivePageInstance().getSite().getPage(), createPaletteViewerProvider(),
				getPalettePreferences());
		flyoutPaletteComposite.setLayout(new FillLayout());
		getEditDomain().setPaletteRoot(getPaletteRoot());

		super.createGraphicalViewer(flyoutPaletteComposite);
		flyoutPaletteComposite.setGraphicalControl(getDiagramContainer().getGraphicalViewer().getControl());	
	}

Kristine,

I have not tried that myself, but it sounds as if only a refresh on the composite may be missing.

Another thing: the editing domain is initialized in the setInput method of the composite. You may overwrite that method, get your own editing domain there and continue with tghe standard implementation. Have you tried that?

HTH,
Michael

Hi Michael,

I already tried calling layout but it didn't do anything.

What do you mean with the standard implemetation? It doesn't have the palette...

Kristine,

sorry, forget about the comment with the standard implementation.

About the refresh: you should not call layout but teh method refresh on the DiagramBehoavior class, that should do it.
