What's the best way to detect single mouse clicks on an EditPart in a
*simple* manner? (I need it for expand / collapse, not for changing
anything in the model, BTW.)
I've read that it can be spotted as direct_edit on an already selected
EditPart; that means overriding 1) EditPart.performRequest (to handle
direct_edit), 2) selectedStateChanged (for when its not yet selected),
and 3) activate/deactive (to add/remove as EditPartListener).
While this seems to work, it is also cumbersome, and the direct_edit
only fires after a delay, whose duration seems to be hardcoded in.
Who knows a better / simpler way, and can perhaps point to a source code
example (e.g. a EditPolicy that does the trick) ?
Thanks,
Christian

Hi Christian
One way to do what you want is for the edit part to add a MouseListener
to the figure(s). You could implement this as an inner class and then
respond to the mousePressed event by calling a method in the edit part
that did whatever it needed to do and then refreshed its visuals.

And the palette is an example of this. The palette is a GraphicalViewer,
and clicking on the drawer's title expands and collapses that drawer.

Guy, Patrik,
Thanks for you quick and specific reply: this works for me. There is
sample code in
org.eclipse.gef.internal.ui.palette.editparts.DrawerFigure (and
DrawerEditPart).
