Hi all,

I want to set a value in the notational model when adding an editpart to the diagram. I added the following code in the add Notify of the editpart. This code throes an exception saying that I am in a read only transaction. Is there a way to get around this? Set values in the notational model, by using a Initializer in the gmfmap?

EditingDomain domain = getEditingDomain();
Command cmd = SetCommand.create(domain, getNotationView(), NotationPackage.eINSTANCE.getView_Visible(), false);
getEditingDomain().getCommandStack().execute(cmd);

Hi, you could modify the ViewProvider (in package xxx.yyy.providers).
This is the place where initial views of the Notation model are populated.

It's generally not a good idea to let editparts create commands.
A better place is edit policies. (Edit parts, actually delegate
getCommand(request) to all installed editing policies.

I believe the initializers are meant for the semantic model, the
ViewProvider is your best bet. BTW, if you don't want to mess with the
original ViewProvider, just copy it to a new plugin, and copy the view
provider declaration from the plugin.xml to the new plugin.xml and
change the priority to a higher level. Modify the ViewProvider at wish.

Hi,

i changed the createXXX_XXX Method in ViewProvider. This works realy creat for me. I think I need to take care when the shape's look is changed to refelect this in the create method.

Thank you a lot!!!
