Hi guys,

May I ask your help to understand if I am properly implementing the listeners for two fields in the property section?

My questions are:

Q1: is it correct to have a different listener for each field/attribute?

Q2: if I have another businessObject, namely "IntentionSpec", which:

- is a specialization of the businessObject "Intention"

- has the two attributes inherited from "Intention" plus another attribute called "newAttribute"

and I want that in the property section when:

i) an "Intention" diagram element is selected --> two attributes are visualized in the panel and if I edit them the "Intention" business object is changed (similar to the actual code)

ii) an "IntentsionSpec" is selected ---> three attributes are visualized in the panel and if I edit them the "IntentionSpec" business object is changed.

Do you have some suggestions how to do that?
For example, should I put everything it the same:

public void createControls(Composite parent, TabbedPropertySheetPage tabbedPropertySheetPage)

and add some lines such as:

Object bo= Graphiti.getLinkService().getBusinessObjectForLinkedPictogra mElement(pe);

if (bo == Intention) then
<actual code>

else
<code to visualize the previous two fields + the newAttribute, and in this case I use the same listeners plus a new one>

Is this correct?

Thank you very much for any help or suggestions :)

Hi,

you can not modify an EObject directly if it is controlled
by an EditingDomain.

See EMF Model Transaction Developer Guide
in the eclipse help for an explanation of the concepts.

In general, you can access the EditingDomain of an EObject
via
org.eclipse.emf.transaction.util.TransactionUtil.getEditingD omain(...)

Also you can use the method
public void execute(IFeature feature, IContext context)
of the GFPropertySection to have your model modification executed
inside a feature. Then the framework takes care of using the editingdomain of the diagram editor.


Best, Tim

Thank you very much Tim!!!

I much appreciated your help. Actually, I am trying to understand how this work looking at the guide you suggested.

Daniele
p.s.
I was wondering if you have also an example within the graphiti tutorial which I can use to better undestand the editingDomain or the execute method.

Hi Tim,

what about this solution (w.r.t. the above code)?

it seems work but I am not sure if there is a better way.
Thanks in advance for any suggstions
Daniele
------------------------------
...................


private ModifyListener listenerIntentionName = new ModifyListener(){

public void modifyText (ModifyEvent arg0){



// set the new name for the Intention
PictogramElement pe = getSelectedPictogramElement();
final Intention bimElement = (Intention) Graphiti.getLinkService().getBusinessObjectForLinkedPictogra mElement(pe);

TransactionalEditingDomain editingDomain = TransactionUtil.getEditingDomain(bimElement);

editingDomain.getCommandStack().execute(new RecordingCommand(editingDomain) {
protected void doExecute() {
bimElement.setName(nameText.getText());
}
});

}
};

Hi,

probably you missed the last fix.
I checked in the fix to make it work on 6th of september.
If you update graphiti it should work
out of the box.

Best, Tim
