Hi

I am new to this GMF..
The parameters the are displayed on property window in GMF are in an aplphabetical order...
Is there any way that I can display parameters in my own format...

Thanks,
Vinay

Hi vinny503,

I think this is not related to GMF but to the PropertiesView in general. The content of the PropertiesView is provided through the EMF *.edit plugin. Maybe they can help you.

Ralph,

If you look in the generated editor, (at least the EMF one), you'll see
getPropertySheetPage (called from getAdaper). PropertySheetPage has a
setSorter method you can use to tailor the order...

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for your reply.

I have found a solution in the following link,but the function getPropertySheetPage() is not being invoked by any of the other functions which results in the setSorter() code not getting executed.

I have tried to backtrack the issue and found getAdapter() is not invoked.

Please provide your suggestions.

Something must be creating a property sheet page so set a breakpoint in
the constructor of the platforms base class and see who is doing that.

Hi,

I am debugging the classes by putting breakpoint to getAdapter method wherever it is being used. But I see that it never enters in to my .editor project classes.

Can you please tell me how to invoke classes from .editor project.

Thanks,
Vinay

Use Ctrl-Shift-T to find PropertySheetPage and set a breakpoint in the
constructor. Use that to figure out how/where it's being constructed.

Hi,

I did set a breakpoint in the PropertySheetPage constructor But I observe that it never enters the classes which are in the .editor project that results in none of the classes of .editor are executed.
whatever I have implemented logic in the getPropertySheetPage method to turn off the
default sorting is in xxxEditor.java which is in .editor project, never been executed.
I am running plugin.xml of .diagram project...I even added .editor plugin project in the dependencies tab.
Please tell me how do I find a solution to this...

Thanks,
Vinay

Vinay,

It sounds like you're running a different editor than the one you're
adding code too. How can I possibly guess the reason for that? You
should be able to see which editor is creating the property sheet page
and that should give you a clue why that editor is running and not the
editor you've implemented.

Hi Carlos,

Thanks a lot.
That link really did help me...I had been struggling for the past few days to get that....
Now I am facing another small problem, that is I am getting propertysheetpage twice in my GMF editor with one having nothing in it.
How do I remove the propertysheetpage which is having nothing in it.
Please find the attached image.

Thanks,
Vinay

Hi Carlos,

I am able to figure out why propertysheetpage was coming twice, As I was extending XXXAdvancedPropertySection to AdvancedPropertySection instead of making a copy of it.

Thanks a lot once again.

Vinay

Hi Carlos,

I am facing one more issue,

Normally in GMF, getPropertyDescriptors function in xxxItemProvider.java is called as part of initialization..
But I want this to be called whenever I drag and drop a Component on to the editor.

Thanks,
Vinay

Hi Carlos,

A new issue has come up....
Property window is not getting updated properly as per the node selection in GMF Editor, The generated xml file contains the same parameters for both the components depending on the final highlighted component.
Please find the attached 2 images and an xml file.

In 1st image dc node is highlighted,
In 2nd image vfdc node is highlighted but in the generated xml contains vfdc parameters even for dc node.

Can anyone help me regarding this..

Thanks,
Vinay

Hi, I think that you can use the EEF framework to customise your property sheet.
