[DataBinding] add non-model intermediary elements with ObservableListTreeContentProvider [message #648350] Wed, 12 January 2011 14:23 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm using ObservableListTreeContentProvider to create a tree view for an
EMF based model. Everything works fine, I especially like the EMF edit
integration. Now I want to group my object eContents based on their
feature. So currently my tree looks like:

Car
+Engine
+Tire
+Tire

Engine belongs to the feature engine and both Tire objects belong to the
tires feature. I want to display them as:
Car
+engine
+Engine
+tires
+Tire
+Tire

How can I achive sth. like that? Via a DelegatingListProperty? Does an
example exist for this use case?

Regards,
Matthias

You can take a look at my e4 model editor who adds such virtual nodes.

There are 2 tricks I'm using to make it work:
a) I create virtual elements named VirtualEntry who them selves simply
wrap an IObservableList in my IObservableFactory
b) The IObservableSet I use to create IObservableMap is not the one I
retrieve from IObservableTreeContentProvider#getKnownElements() but
one that is cleared from the VirtualEntry instances

The code is in:
/cvsroot/eclipse/e4/org.eclipse.e4.tools/bundles/org.eclipse .e4.tools.emf.ui

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your hint, I already had a similar idea on my mind when I
wrote my post. But your example really helped, thx a lot!
Now I "just" need to hook up commands for adding and removing feature.
And copy & Paste.
