Modifying properties view (combo box value) [message #503466] Mon, 14 December 2009 11:11 Go to next message

Hello,

I want to modify the behaviour of the properties view.
When you make double click in a property value which is a combo box, the view shows all the available values. If the property is
a reference, combo box shows all objects which can be targeted for those elements.

Maybe the project was: "org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui", and teh class "AdapterFactoryContentProvider"... but I'm not sure...

Please, what class and what EMF project do I have to modify for getting the combo box only load the values I want (basically a filter on the default combo values)?

Have you got any suggestion about this issue?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Carlos,

There's an example in EReferenceItemProvider.

protected void addEOppositePropertyDescriptor(Object object)
{
itemPropertyDescriptors.add
(new ItemPropertyDescriptor

(((ComposeableAdapterFactory)adapterFactory).getRootAdapterF actory(),
getResourceLocator(),
getString("_UI_EReference_eOpposite_feature"),
getString("_UI_EReference_eOpposite_description"),
EcorePackage.Literals.EREFERENCE__EOPPOSITE,
true,
false,
true,
null,
null,
null)
{
@Override
public Collection<?> *getChoiceOfValues*(Object object)
{

I.e., specialize getChoiceOfValues of the property descriptor.

Hi Ed.

I have imported the project "org.eclipse.emf.ecore.edit" and I also have modified the class "EReferenceItemProvider" as you told me but it seems that the method has never invoked.
After I make the changes in the class code, the file is not marked like 'dirty' but I don't know why... (The file name is blue in the package navigator: what does it mean? Can that project be modified?).

I have explored other way. In the project "org.eclipse.emf.edit", in the class "ItemPropertyDescriptor" there is other method "getChoiceOfValues". I think that I can filter the combo box values at this point...

What is your opinion?

Thank you very much.
Best regards.
Carlos.
