Hi all,

how is it possible to change the GFDirectEditManager with a custom implementation?

Best regards,

Andreas

Without using a locally patched version of graphiti, I'd say it's not possible.

However, the current implementation is customizable via the associated IDirectEditingFeature. What are you trying to achieve?

Hi Felix,

thanks for the quick reply.

I created a Xtext Integration for graphical editors some time ago, see http://muelder.blogspot.de/2011/04/xtext-celleditor-integration.html for an example.

This integration adds code completion, syntax higlighting, validation etc. to the direct editor. Technically, it is implemented as a custom implementation of GEFs DirectEditManager and works well with GEF & GMF. For a new project I am evaluating Graphiti as a replacement of GMF and Xtext integration is a major requirement.

No chance to hook into an editpart factory to replace ShapeEditPart#bringUpDirectEditField without patching graphiti?

Best regards,

Andreas

I saw your post a month ago and also wanted to integrate XtexCellEditor
in my Graphiti Editor. It works well with the XtextCellEditor from the
Yakindu Project.

Here is my code for my DirectEditingFeature :

// some imports...
import de.itemis.utils.jface.viewers.StyledTextCellEditor;
import de.itemis.xtext.utils.jface.viewers.XtextStyledTextCellEditor;
// other imports...

public class MyDirectEditFeature extends
		AbstractDirectEditingFeature implements ICellEditorProvider {

Rectangle rectangle = null; // initialized in my canDirectEdit Method

/* ... */
@Override
public int getEditingType() {
	return TYPE_CUSTOM;
}
/* ... */

@Override
public CellEditor createCellEditor(Composite parent) {

	StyledTextCellEditor cellEditor;
	Injector myInjector = MyDslActivator.getInstance().getInjector("myDSL")
	cellEditor = new XtextStyledTextCellEditor(SWT.SINGLE, myInjector);
	cellEditor.create(parent);
	
	StyledText text = (StyledText) cellEditor.getControl();
	text.setBounds(rectangle);
	return cellEditor;
}

@Override
public void relocate(CellEditor cellEditor, IFigure figure) {
	// Nothing
}

/* ... */
}



Regards

Hi Nicolas,

thank you very much for the snippet, I will give it a try. You are right, it should be sufficient to replace the CellEditor instead of the DirectEditManager.

Best regards,

Andreas
