Summer,

You'll find methods like createWrapper and isWrappingNeeded in
ItemProviderAdapter which is the base from which all item providers
extend. So you can override it any any of your generated item providers.

Thanks for your answer,

I know,but the problem is I canŽt override it in the edit part ->
ItemProvider

I know that I need to force wrappers to be created (override
isWrappingNeeded), which looks like this:

protected Object createWrapper(EObject object, EStructuralFeature feature,
Object value, int index)
{
if (!isWrappingNeeded(object)) return value;

if (FeatureMapUtil.isFeatureMap(feature))
{
value = new
FeatureMapEntryWrapperItemProvider((FeatureMap.Entry)value, object,
(EAttribute)feature, index, adapterFactory, getResourceLocator());
}
else if (feature instanceof EAttribute)
{
value = new AttributeValueWrapperItemProvider(value, object,
(EAttribute)feature, index, adapterFactory, getResourceLocator());
}
else if (!((EReference)feature).isContainment())
{
value = new DelegatingWrapperItemProvider(value, object, feature,
index, adapterFactory);
}

return value;
}

but I donŽt know where to put this in my EMF project.

I mean I can not override the methode createWrapper or isWrapperNeeded in
the generated class ItemProviderAdapter, I canŽt change anything in this
class,

Ok, I`ve just seen, that I already have this wrapper, and still having the
problem that by deleting the child reference the reference itself it also
deleted??

Any ideas, how to change that?

In any generated AbcItemProviderAdapter, i.e., the one which has
children that are non-containment references that also appear elsewhere
in the tree, simply create a method that overrides isWrappingNeeded to
return true...

Summer,

The quality of my answers will generally be directly proportional to the
information content of your question. I can only do such much to guess
what might be wrong.
