Missing feedback layer [message #176818] Tue, 12 April 2005 08:59 Go to next message

I'm running a gef editor similar to the logic sample. When placing a
component to
the gef editor and after that trying to move the component a null pointer
exception occurs in:

/**
* Adds the specified <code>Figure</code> to the {@link
LayerConstants#FEEDBACK_LAYER}.
* @param figure the feedback to add
*/
protected void addFeedback(IFigure figure) {
getFeedbackLayer().add(figure);
}

It seems that the methode getFeedbackLayer is returning null instead of the
expected feedback layer:

/**
* Returns the layer used for displaying feedback.
*
* @return the feedback layer
*/
protected IFigure getFeedbackLayer() {
return getLayer(LayerConstants.FEEDBACK_LAYER);
}

Why is there no feedback layer. Where is this layer created/initialized. I
couldn't find the code snippet responsible for this in the logic example.

It is clear that I don't understand something here. Who can point me in the
right direction

The root editpart. You must be modifying the
Scalable(Freeform)RootEditPart.
