Can I put a TextEditor inside a GraphicalEditor? [message #180813]

Hi,

My graphical editor has a text editPart. When the user double-click on it,
I want to activate it in edit mode and use the TextEditor for the editing.
Is it possible to embed one editor on another?

Thanks,

Kev.

Is direct-editing not sufficient? There is a MultiPageEditPart that would
allow you to open another editor in another page. I've seen some people
write an editor that would open another editor on top of the currently
visible one without opening a new page or editor or changing tab pane
selection. But I don't think there is any support for this from SWT/JFace.
You'd have to do this on your own. You could also consider launching a
modal text editor from the property sheet. None of this is GEF-specific, so
try the SWT or platform newsgroup for further queries.
