Greetings,
I am trying to add an extension to the Visual Editor, that would allow
me to do drag & drop into a selected component in order to change some
property. So far, I've seen the code that allows you t make a custom
editor for the properties view, but I have found no example on how to
set the property and force the code generation.
I was able to use the IBeanProxy class to invoke the set method on the
second virtual machine, and the property is rendered correctly in the
second virtual machine. However, the code is not generated.
I get the list of selected edit parts by using:
List selected = vePart.getPrimaryViewer().getSelectedEditParts();
(Where vePart is an instance of JavaVisualEditorPart)
I iterate through them, loooking for Edit Parts and java object instances:
for (Iterator iter = selected.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
EditPart part = (EditPart)iter.next();
Object obj = part.getModel();
if (obj instanceof JavaObjectInstance) {
JavaObjectInstance joi = (JavaObjectInstance)obj;
// More code here
}
}
If the object is a JavaObjectInstance, then I set the value
IBeanProxy proxy = BeanProxyUtilities.getBeanProxy(joi);
IBeanProxy valProxy =
proxy.getProxyFactoryRegistry().getBeanProxyFactory().create BeanProxyWith( "SomeString");
IMethodProxy setTypeMethodProxy =
proxy.getTypeProxy().getMethodProxy("setPropText", "java.lang.String");
setTypeMethodProxy.invoke(proxy, valProxy);
Of course, I realize this is wrong, as this will only set the value on
the second virtual machine but nothing is said about generation.
Checking into the code for a custom editor, I see that you need to
return a IJavaInstance object by using BeanUtilities.createJavaObject,
however I fail to see how this is used to generate the code.
I am able to get the EditDomain, the ResourceSet and the init code from
the EditPart.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance!

Hi,
You can set a String valued property using the CommandBuilder from the
package org.eclipse.ve.internal.cde.commands. I dont know if this is the
correct way but it works.
EStructuralFeature sf =
model.eClass().getEStructuralFeature("PropertyName");
if (sf != null && !model.eIsSet(sf)) {
ResourceSet resourceSet = EMFEditDomainHelper.getResourceSet(editDomain);
IJavaInstance newPropertyValue= BeanUtilities.createString(resourceSet,
"NewPropertyValue");
CommandBuilder cb = new CommandBuilder();
cb.applyAttributeSetting(model, sf, newPropertyValue);
command = cb.getCommand();
command.execute();
}
Hope this helps you.
