Popup Bar Type [message #1067364]

Hello Everybody,

I'm new to gmf and I'm trying to minimize the use of the Palette in my project. So, I was thinking : "hey why not use a popup ?". So, I've learned to use the popup bar edit policy. But here I am with a problem.

I want to create several shortcuts in the toolbar in order to create one node but with various properties. I've managed so far to modify the popupBarLabelHandle to display what I want. But I can't fine where the node is created to modify its properties.

I've tried to Override the MouseListener on the LabelHandle. It doesn't work for mouseReleased and create two nodes with mousePressed.

Well, if someone already had a problem like mine, I will be gladfull if you'll share you answer with me Rolling Eyes

And sorry for my bad english, I'm a little french guy !

Hi,

here is what I use to add custom tools to this bar https://github.com/deep-modeling/melanee-core/tree/master/plugins/de.uni_mannheim.informatik.swt.models.plm.diagram/custom-src/de/uni_mannheim/informatik/swt/models/plm/diagram/custom/popupbartools

You should consider that you will get problems when using your editor on touch devices. That is why I switch back to the good old palette and to menus that appear on selection instead of hovering.

Okay, so I chose to create several Specialization Type in order to have multiple choices in my popup. Is there a way to generate automatically the extension point via gmf. Because, there is a lot of thing to modify and, so far, nothing is working here ! I'm surely missing something.

Hi,

Pierre I implemented this by hand without having GMF generating it Sad

You could request this as a feature on bugzilla so that we could provide something like that in a better way.

Hi,

I actually found something. In your .gmfgen, you can add several specialization type and all the classes that will be used by it. And the .gmfgen will generate the files requested. So if anyone wants to try specialization type, I highly recommend that you take a look into it.
