Hi all:
I create a tag converter for my host element A .I don't want that every
tag can drag into the A and been created ,so I need to add a new
ItemCreationTagEditPolicy and overwrite the getCommand method to ignore some
tags been created.When my converter to add the child elements I need to
judge the element , if the element is illegal , I will don't add it.
But I find that there is a method : shouldIgnore in the
AbstractTagConverter class,so I overwrite the method to ignore the tags but
it's useless .It's only called by copyChildren method and dumCopyChildren
method.
Some tag converter for example the CommandLinkTagConverter class uses the
shouldIgnore method when it add the child elements.
why don't write the shouldIgnore method inside the addChild method to
judge which element can be added? And I find that the
ItemCreationTagEditPolicy didn't do any work to ingnore some illegal
elements.

Hi Dart,

I'm a little confused by what you are trying to do. Are you trying to
control where an element can be dropped or whether it will appear once it
is part of the page?

The ITagConverter interface controls only what HTML is rendered at design
time for a particular tag. The shouldIgnore in this case controls whether
children get convertered to HTML for rendering in the visual canvas. This
won't change whether a user can drop the tag, only whether it will show up.

If you want more control over where a palette/canvas item can dropped,
look instead the IElementEdit interface. This provides a method
"getDropRequestorLocationStrategy" that can return a strategy object that
finds the closest position to the current mouse position where an element
may be validly dropped (or null if none exists). Look at
ColumnElementEdit for an example of how we use this in the out-of-the-box
framework to allow us to control where and how an h:column can be dropped
inside an h:dataTable.

Hi Cameron:
Thank you for your reply.
First I'm very sorry that I can't descrip my problem clearly because that
my English is too bad.
Actually I asked two question
1. I doubt the AbstractTagConverter#shouldIgnore method.
I want to make my TagConverter can know which children tag is illegal,so
when the TagConverter
is adding the children tags,it can ignore those illegal tags and don't add
it into the children nodes.
For example:
I write the HTML code "<table><td></td></table>" into the text editor,in
the fact, the <td> tag is
illegal,when my TableTagConverter add the children,It shouldn't add the <td>
element.But actually the
AbstractTagConverter don't do this,I have to do this work by myself----I
need to judge which child
element is illegal.
At first I think that the shouldIgnore method can help me to do the
work,but it didn't.So I don't
know how to use the sholdIgnore method.
I think maybe the AbstractTagConverter#addChild method can be modified
like this:

protected void addChild(Node childNode, ConvertPosition position) {
if(shouldIgnore(childNode)) return;
_childNodes.add(childNode);
_childNodePositions.put(childNode, position);
}

2.I want to control where a palette/canvas item can dropped.I have writed
a new edit policy and
instal it into the editpart to control,but you gave me a best method,I will
try it, thank you very much
