Hi there,

I've got 2 questions regarding the outline view.

1. Is it possible that the outline view is opened all the time. At the moment I've to click on every node in case to get it open.

2. I don't want to display the diagram stuff in my outline view. The following images gives you an idea what I meaning:

index.php/fa/14562/0/

Thanks so far

You mean fully expanded all the time? That's more of a Jface question.
Yes it is possible to expand nodes programmatically.

Sounds like more of a GMF question...

Hi Ed,

can you give me a hint, which emf code is responsible for managing the outline?
Then I'm maybe ableto customize it.

Isn't it right that EMF provides the outline view? So wouldn't it be then an EMF question, cause EMF displays the gmf stuff also...

In a GMF Editor?

All customizations of tree views is generally done by customizing the
generated item providers.

EMF doesn't decide if the diagram should be in it.

You should learn to use tools like
http://www.eclipse.org/pde/incubator/spy/ so you can answer questions
yourself.

Hi Ed,

thanks for the hint with incubator spy.

I forgot to mention that I used this article (http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-Integrating-EMF-GMF-Editors/index.html) to integrate EMF and GMF. As mentioned in the article it's possible to hide the diagram elements by using a ViewerFilter[] in the getContentOutlinePage() method, which works perfectly for me.

Unfortunately I haven't resolved the expanding nodes problem yet. With the Treeviewer expandAll method, I'm able to expand all nodes on start up, but when an element is added to the diagram, the outline view collapse automatically.
But I have no clue which method is reponsible for refreshing the outline view

Have a look at
org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.provider.AdapterFactoryContentProvider.ViewerRefresh.refresh(IViewerNotification).
That's probably what's being used. Or they've got some other
technique to call the viewer's update method.
