[Eugenia] Adding options to a node [message #759078]

Hello,

my question is how i add specific actions to a node.

For example i have the following node in my model :

class Claim {
    attr String path;
}

When i right click on an instance of that node in canvas, i got a drop down menu where i can "add note" for example.
Can i add new options to this drop down menu and execute my own java code when the action is clicked ?

For example can i open the file specified in path variable ?

Greetings

Eugenia does not support that, I'm afraid. You'll need to tweak the GMF code generation models and the generated code for that.

Have you tried asking over on the GMF forum? I'm sure they'll be able to provide more information on what you need to do Smile

@namespace(uri="trustcasemodel", prefix="trustcasemodel")
@gmf(foo="bar")
package trustCase;

@gmf.diagram(onefile="false")
class TrustCase {
val Claim[*] valclaims;
}

class Claim {
   attr String path;
}

How can i get the path property of the selected Claim in the editor when using javacode?
In another plugin for example ?

Common,

it must be possible to read the properties from a node in java in any way.

Hi,

In your extension you need to specify org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.editparts.IGraphicalEditPart as the objectClass. You can then get the EObject that underpins the graphical part using its resolveSemanticElement() method.

Cheers,
Dimitris
