Hello,

in my model I need to update some properties of connected nodes when a link is either created or deleted.
So far i have all non-autogen code inside an extension plugin and i would like to leave it that way.
To extend the creation request i think i have to add my own policy for CREATION_ROLE. But I could not find anything similar for deletion of an object, so I need some help there.

Regards,
Vitaliy

Hello Volevach,

???ItemSemanticEditPolicy.getDestroyElementCommand() will be called on deleting
an element, so you can place a breakpoint there to see which particular request
was used to initiate this command.

Hello Alex,

i tried to debug the getDestroyElementCommand() int the Link's ItemSemanticEditPolicy class to see when it is called.
My problem is now that the org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.type.core.requests.DestroyElemen tRequest " is not only generated when I delete the link but also every time I click on it and even on it's creation. So I am now a little confused how to proceed.

Hello Vitaliy,

getDestroyElementCommand() is called then you do something on diagram (change
selection...) but returned command will not be executed unless you call delete.

Hello Alex,

thanks for your answer. Now I achieved my goal by overriding getDestroyElementCommand() and returning a CompositeTransactionalCommand where the generic DestroyElementCommand is composed together with my custom command. So far everything is working just fine.

Regards,
Vitaliy
