Hi,

I try to add a custom widget in the properties view. The widget is a embedded xtext editor. So far, I get the editor displayed but too small. (Only showing one line of text.)

I'm not too familiar with EEF so this might be a very silly question but how can I arrange the widget to occupy more space?

Attached you'll find a picture of the editor with the properties view.

Greetings,
Wilbert.

Hi,

Good job plugin Xtext in the Sirius Properties View!

In order to make your widget take more space, you don't anything specific for EEF, it's just a regular SWT/JFace problem. I think that you could use the same behavior as our TextArea widget. In the grid data of our widget, we are specifying a heightHint to tell SWT the minimum height that we would like to use.

How did you embed the XText editor into the properties panel? I'm trying to do the same and can't figure it out. Your help would be much appreciated.

Hi

The starting point is the EmbeddedXtextEditor, which has evolved since I first adapted it for ConsoleView embedding five years ago, so I cannot recommend that you use the OCL Xtext Console code as an example. Search for other example uses.
