I am using a variation of the chopbox anchor. I anchors at the location
the mouse is clicked on the object (sorta). I would like to show
feedback before the mouse is clicked so the user can know where the
anchor point is about to be placed.
How should I go about this? I'm very familiar with GEF, so simple
answers should suffice.
User gets feedback on the target side since the line is drawn based on
the anchor points, but when starting the connection there is no line to
reveal what is about to happen.
Thanks!
CL

See ConnectionCreationTool#showSourceFeedback(). It doesn't show source
feedback until the connection source has been set (which happens when the
user clicks on the first part). In your case, you can show the feedback on
the target editpart if the connection source is null. Don't forget to erase
the feedback.

Lol, if I had not been deep into the connection system for this weekend
I might have been confused by your use of the term 'target' editpart :)
Ill see if I can get the target to show some feedback just like the
target of the completion command does. just a small box that moves.
Odd part is the architecture is asking for an anchor in the request, but
i guess its not really using it yet.
Thanks,
CL
