StrictCompoundCommand [message #425271] Fri, 21 November 2008 12:20 Go to next message

Hello all !

I want to create a CompoundCommand composed of two commands, where the
second command must wait for the result of the first command in order to
be executed.
I think this is achieved by using a StrictCompoundCommand
(non-pessimistic), and by wrapping the second command in a
CommandWrapper (the second command is then created when it's wrapper is
prepared). This works well, except for undo.

When the command is prepared, my first sub-command is executed, and the
wrapper of the second one is prepared, so the second command is created
and prepared.
When the command is executed, the second sub-command is executed (the
first was already executed during prepare).
That is ok.

But then, if I "undo" the command, only the last sub-command (the second
one) is undone !
This is logic regarding redo : it will only have to re-execute the last
sub-command. But I also need to undo the first sub-command to obtain the
real expected undo effect !

I imagine this is a well known problem. Can someone help me with this ??
Thanks in advance !

Stephane

It seems that using pessimistic solves the undo problem. Is this the
right way to do it ?
And so, in which cases can non-pessimistic be useful ?

Thanks in advance again!

It seems so.

When the enablement of commands does not depend on those before it.

Do all the comments in the Javadoc for StrictCompoundCommand apply for
your case?
