I have a class

EllipticalShapeEditPart extends ShapeNodeEditPart

developed through GMF.
Now as soon as I override the method dragTracker , the component stopping moving or even I am not able to select the component.

How to ressolve the scenario.

Hi,

GEF wants to consume mouse events. Sometimes you can get around that creatively, but I often end up simply implementing my more complex mouse handling in SWT. It works pretty well. You just translate the point from SWT to GEF API and then find the target figure within the layer.

HTH,

Miles
