Hello,

I'm looking for a general way to support copying and pasting resources between my and other SubSystems. Are there any interfaces for this purpose?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ralph,

Assuming you have specialized resources, you'll should have at least one
corresponding ISystemViewElementAdapter defined and registered to have your
objects managed in RSE views. ISystemViewElementAdapter extends
ISystemDragDropAdapter which has APIs for dragging and dropping.

Let me know whether that helps or if you need more information.

Hi Dave,

thank you! The solution was incredibly simple (we had the doDrag(...) method already implemented, but without returning an IResource)! Drag & Drop works fine now!

Is there a way to do exact the same thing with explicit "Copy" and "Paste" actions? Do we have to define our own actions for that?

Hi Ralph,

If you'd like to add copy/paste support just implement the following in your
view adatper:

public void addActions(SystemMenuManager menu, IStructuredSelection
selection, Shell shell, String menuGroup)
{
...

if (copyClipboardAction == null){
copyClipboardAction = new SystemCopyToClipboardAction(shell, null);

}

if (paseClipboardAction == null){
pasteClipboardAction = new SystemPasteFromClipboardAction(shell, null);
}
menu.add(menuGroup, copyClipboardAction);
menu.add(menuGroup, pasteClipboardAction);
...
