It's obviously better to make a copy of the collection rather than
modifying the model itself.

Are you just trying not to show any children for certain features (i.e.,
filtering out entire features, which you can do on the properties for
the GenFeature) or are you trying to filter the children down to a
subset of some specific feature's larger set of children?

Don't change the model if you don't want it to change...

Hi Ed,
I'm too stupid at the moment.
My problem at the moment is where I have to implement this?
Is it in MyElementItemProvider.java or somewhere in the Editor.java.
The problem is I need a object of the viewer and I only can get it
somewhere in the editor part and not edit part. Is this correct?
Or how I get the StructuredViewer of the actual object?
Thank's a lot.
Matthias

You have to set it on the viewer and the view is created in the editor,
so yes, look for the Viewer creation in the editor.

Yes, in the editor.

Ok,
now I implemented following code in ...Editor.java
ViewerFilter newFilter = new ViewerFilter() {
@Override
public boolean select(Viewer viewer, Object parentElement,
Object element) {
EObject eo = (EObject) element;
if((element.getClass().toString()).contains("TypeOfElement")) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
@Override
public boolean isFilterProperty(Object element, String property) {
EObject eo = (EObject) element;
if((element.getClass().toString()).contains("TypeOfElement")) {
return true;
}
if (property.equals("status"))
return true;
else
return super.isFilterProperty(element, property);
}
};
// Create a page for the parent tree view.
//
{
ViewerPane viewerPane =
new ViewerPane(getSite().getPage(), MSCEditor.this) {
@Override
public Viewer createViewer(Composite composite) {
Tree tree = new Tree(composite, SWT.MULTI);
TreeViewer newTreeViewer = new TreeViewer(tree);
return newTreeViewer;
}
@Override
public void requestActivation() {
super.requestActivation();
setCurrentViewerPane(this);
}
};
viewerPane.createControl(getContainer());
parentViewer = (TreeViewer)viewerPane.getViewer();
parentViewer.setAutoExpandLevel(30);
parentViewer.setContentProvider(new
ReverseAdapterFactoryContentProvider(adapterFactory));
parentViewer.setLabelProvider(new
AdapterFactoryLabelProvider(adapterFactory));
parentViewer.addFilter(newFilter);
createContextMenuFor(parentViewer);
int pageIndex = addPage(viewerPane.getControl());
setPageText(pageIndex, getString("_UI_ParentPage_label"));
}
I added the Filter before the tree is setted with:
ViewerFilter newFilter = new ViewerFilter()
I have added the filter with:
parentViewer.addFilter(newFilter);
I have tried to create the select() and isFilterProperty() with my needs,
but when this functions will be called, or must I call them?
This point is still confusing to me.
Thanks a lot
Matthias

Matthias,
It sounds like you're ignoring your best friend, the debugger: set a
breakpoint in your select method and see when/if it's called. This
would reveal that of course the framework calls it.

Hi Ed,
thank you very much. Your right, the debugger knows everything!!
It works.
Thanks a lot.
