Hi all,
I develop a multipage editor like the example in the graphiti integration test org.eclipse.praphiti.testtool.sketch. The Editor has two subpannels, one with an JFace/Forms pannel and a second sub pannel with a graphiti editor. I extended the DefaultUpdateDiagramFeature and it works very well, but not automatically like the normal update feature ( isAutoUpdateAtRuntime seems to be ignored ). I must right click on a free place on the diagram and select update.

The job of my custom diagramUpdateFeature is to detect new business objects, added in the jface/forms panel and paint them to the left site in the diagram.

The eclipse forms multi editor calls a method panelChange when I switch to the graphiti editor pannel. Is there a propper way to fire a diagram update event?

thanks in advance

Jochen

Jochen,

not sure what is causing the update not to happen: the
DomainModelChangeListener triggers the diagram update but only in case the
diagram container (the editor) is not dirty. Maybe the editor is dirty?

You can manually trigger the update by calling refresh() on the
DiagramBehavior instance (if you have the DiagramEditor only,
editor.getDiagramBehavior().refresh()).

Hi Michael,
when I did a change in the JFace editor panel on my model the editor is dirty, because I did a change. When I call refresh in the DiagramBehaviour my exetended DefaultUpdateDiagramFeature isn't called. I added my exetended DefaultUpdateDiagramFeature in the feature provider.

The only way to start my exetended DefaultUpdateDiagramFeature is a right click on the blank diagram area and select update in the popup menu.

I found a solution. I trigger my DiagramUpdateFeature in the pageChanged method like the following:

if (newPageIndex == 1 && typeDiagramEditor != null) {
  typeDiagramEditor.updateDirtyState();
  if(typeDiagramBehavior!=null){
    UpdateContext updateContext =
      new UpdateContext(typeDiagramEditor.getDiagramBehavior()
          .getDiagramTypeProvider().getDiagram());
    typeDiagramEditor.getDiagramTypeProvider()
                     .getFeatureProvider()
                     .updateIfPossible(updateContext);
}

now my DiagramUpdateFeature is called after a pagechange in the multipage FormEditor
