Dear readers,

I have an EMF-based RCP-application that was originally generated using the genmodel-generator. The application thus has EMF.Edit end EMF.Editor components. When I run the application, I basically have an editor and a property sheet. When I select an object in the editor, the property sheet shows its properties, as expected.
Now I added a custom view part that contains a Tree viewer. Essentially the code is as follows:

public class MyCustomViewPart extends ViewPart
(...)
private ComposedAdapterFactory adapterFactory = new ComposedAdapterFactory(ComposedAdapterFactory.Descriptor.Registry.INSTANCE);
(...)
public void partActivated(IWorkbenchPartReference arg0) {
(...)
treeViewer.setContentProvider(new AdapterFactoryContentProvider(adapterFactory));
treeViewer.setLabelProvider(new AdapterFactoryLabelProvider(adapterFactory));
treeViewer.setInput(editingDomain.getResourceSet());
(...)
}

public void createPartControl(Composite parent)
{ (...)
getSite().setSelectionProvider(treeViewer);
(...)
}


When I now select an object in the tree viewer of MyCustomViewPart, the property sheet remains empty. When I activate the editor and select an object in the editor, the property sheet shows the proprieties of the selected objects.

Can anyone please give me a hint why the property sheet remains empty if I select an object in the tree viewer of my MyCustomViewPart?

Thank you very much for any help,
Christoph

Christoph,

I would guess that your view part needs to implement ISelectionProvider...

Hello Ed,
thank you for your reply.
I thought if would be sufficient if I register the TreeViewer within my ViewPart as a selection provider (getSite().setSelectionProvider(treeViewer)).
I use the standard org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.PropertySheet as my property view. And I can also see in the debugger that the selectionChanged method on the PropertySheet is invoked when I select an (EMF-object)element in my TreeViewer of my ViewPart (the selected element is contained in the TreeSelection object).
But the PropertySheet remains empty.
NB: When I select an element in a View that is based on org.eclipse.ui.views.ContentOutline, the properties are visible in the PropertySheet.

Can you give me some more hints if possible?
Thank you very much and cheers,
Christoph

Hmmm. One would hope so yes...

I see. Note that the generated editor implements getAdapter to create
the appropriate properties view implementation, so you'd need to do that
too for your viewer...

Hopefully that's a good hint...
