Hi,

index.php/fa/3273/0/

Is it possible to change the Font Color of the Model-Element ("System Component", "Parameter", "Value")? The Name of the Element (such as "Aircraft") should stay black.

Thanks.

Yes, you can enable Color Providers in the GenModel and the specialize
the item providers to produce the colors you want. Read the Javadoc for
IItemColorProvider for how to control the color.

Thank you Ed,

I have now enabled the Color Provider and regenerated the Code. Also i have overridden the getForeground(Object object) method in my ItemProvider. Unfortunately, it is never called.

You have to change your plugin.xml to add the IItemColorProvider in the supported interfaces.
It is only generated once and not changed afterwards.

The registration is important for registered lookup, but if the right
one is explicitly created (as in the generated editor) you won't notice
the registration missing. It is important to use
AdapterFactoryLabelProvider.ColorProvider for colors to be supported so
that's likely the cause of the problem.

Thank you Ed,
Thank you Sylvain,

The missing ColerProvider caused the Problem.
But for now, the hole String is colored. Is there a way to use multiple colors?
In case of "System Component Aircraft", the name of the element "System Component" should has an other color as the value "Aircraft".

Sylvain,

No, I don't believe a tree widget supports that nor do the Eclipse APIs
provide such control.

Hi,

sorry I am reopening this thread, but I wanted to do the same thing and I'm having some trouble doing so, so I will just write in here.

I also want to use different fonts and followed the steps in here. The colors appear fine in the outline view, but not in my editors. I don't exactly understand what you, Ed, meant by "using AdapterFactoryLabelProvider.ColorProvider for colors".

That means I need a ColorProvider in my editor class, correct?

What I tried is creating a ColorProvider in the editor class and calling setForeground on it in the getContentOutlinePage() of my editor on the current viewer. That is also being called fine, but the colors again only appear in the outline.

I think that my problem is only that I don't understand how I am supposed to use the ColorProvider correctly. Maybe you could just quickly tell me how that works?

Thanks a lot!


Markus

Use an instance of AdapterFactoryLabelProvider.FontAndColorProvider as the label provider for you editor.

One more thing: is that not possible for a ListViewer for some reason? It works fine in the tree and the table viewer for me, but the ListViewer does not show the same behaviour...
