AFAIK you cannot nest compartments within other compartments.

Sorry, It's bit unclear for me what you are trying to achieve Sad

Hi,

Ok, first of all school & classroom are both nodes (not compartments), but both of them have inner compartments; school's compartment holds classrooms and classroom's compartment holds students.

What you need to do is employ a list compartment as the school's compartment and then modify the createFigure() method of SchoolXXXCompartmentEditPart like below:

/**
 * @generated NOT
 */
public IFigure createFigure() {
	ResizableCompartmentFigure result = (ResizableCompartmentFigure) super.createFigure();
	result.setTitleVisibility(false);

	ConstrainedToolbarLayout layout = (ConstrainedToolbarLayout) result.getContentPane().getLayoutManager();
	layout.setVertical(flag1);
	layout.setStretchMajorAxis(flag2);
	layout.setStretchMinorAxis(flag3);

	return result;
}

Now, you'll have to experiment with those flags (true / false) in order to get your desired behaviour. I always forget how they work and mix and match until I get what I need Smile

I was trying a complex solution, it rembers me of the citation said, "simplicity leads to an extreme becomes elegance", by the way the flag should be set to true
