Hello GMF Experts!

In my diagram editor, I'm trying to add a feature that when a user hovers the mouse on a connecting line between Figure A to Figure B, it highlights both the connecting line and the borders for Figures A and B. (Basically, I was just thinking of changing the line border to "NEON GREEN" to indicate a highlighted figure)

How do I do this in GMF? Is there an example that I can follow for this feature?
Is this done by adding a new Edit Policy?

Thanks again and appreciate the help in advance!

Hello,

You should use the SelectionEditPolicy (org.eclipse.gef.editpolicies)
and override method showSelection().
This policy corresponds to the role EditPolicy.SELECTION_FEEDBACK_ROLE.

You can change it in the createDefaultEditPolicies() of your edge edit part.

Regards,

Laurent

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I tried that implementation and it enabled me to change the Figure properties (i.e. border colors etc) but only when I select the actual link or connection in the diagram.

Is there a way to do this just by hovering the mouse over my target Edit Part (i.e. connections). I tried implementing the MouseMotionListener.mouseHover() in my EditPolicy but that didn't help me.

As always, appreciat the help!

What I mean by, "it didn't help me' was that at runtime, it didn't hit the my implemented method in mouseHover().
