Hello everyone,
i am quite new to EMF and i want to implement a property sheet to display some properties of EObjects. Actually i am facing a problem. I want to display all types that an ETypedElement can take as value. But i don't know how to get all those reachable types.
Can someone help me?
Any help would be really appreciate
regards
Junior

Hi, Junior,

Have a look at the implementation of getChoiceOfValues() in the
ItemPropertyDescriptorWithUniqueChoiceOfValueLabels inner class in the
EModelElementItemProvider for an example.

Cheers,

Christian

Hello ,
Thanks christian for your reply. I had a look at the implementation of getChoicesOfValues, but since i am new to EMF, i could not get smart.
Basically, my problem is as follows.
I am implementing property sheet pages to visualize some properties of EObjects
and i want to user to be able to set the eType of a selected ETypedElement in an advanced property sheet. To do this, i use a ComboBoxViewerCellEditor.
But i don't know what should be the input of the cellEditor, so that it display for example the following:

EBoolean
EChar
EString
...

I tried the following:
ComboBoxViewerCellEditor.setInput(EcorePackage.Literals.ECLASSIFIER); 

But i only get the attributes of the MetaObject EClassifier displayed.
I also tried the following

IItemPropertyDescriptor descriptor = new ItemPropertyDescriptor(new   EcoreItemProviderAdapterFactory(),null,null,EcorePackage.Literals.ETYPED_ELEMENT__ETYPE);	   
 result = descriptor.getChoiceOfValues(typedElement);

i only get the classes that are contained in my .ecore file.
But how do i get all predefined types like EBoolean,EString,... and all classes, that are contained in my .ecore file together as input of the ComboBoxViewerCellEditor?

Any hint and/or answer is really welcome
Regards
Junior

You'd need a content provider and a label provider for that; the
contents presumably will be computed by the content produced by the
content provider.

What you'll want is very similar to
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.provider.ETypedElementItemProvider.addETypePropertyDescriptor(...).new
ItemPropertyDescriptorWithUniqueChoiceOfValueLabels()
{...}.getChoiceOfValues(Object)

If you have an ETypedElement why don't get use
EcoreItemProviderAdapterFactory to get an adapter for
IItemPropertySource and then
org.eclipse.emf.edit.provider.IItemPropertySource.getPropertyDescriptor(Object,
Object) to get the property descriptor (the second argument should be
EcorePackage.Literals.ETYPED_ELEMENT__ETYPE) from which you can call
getChoiceOfValues. If you use EMF's content and label providers in the
cell editor, you can use
org.eclipse.emf.edit.provider.ItemProvider.ItemProvider(Collection<?>)
to create an input object that will list these choices.
