Remove the horizontal line in the middle of Compartment? [message #207149]

Hello,

in compartments there is a horizontal line above which stays the Label of
the compartment. Normally this line is just under the Label, but somehow
it happened to me that the line now is in the middle of the compartment.
And now the compartments are divided in upper (empty) and bottom (where
elements are added) part, but I would like them as before.

Here is a picture of a compartment:

You can see that after an element is added to the compartment, the line
moves upwards.

Do you what could be the reason for it and how can I make the line just
stays under the label? The problem is not in the "List Layout" property.

I'm using Eclipse 3.4.0 and GMF SDK 2.1.0 and GMF Runtime 1.1.0

Greetings,
Nikolay

Hello Nikolay,

I think you have to add aome layout to the figure of an element containing
this compartment (i remember there was something changed in between of GMF
1.0 and 2.0 in this area..) So, you can try adding FlowLayout into the main
element figure. See oeg.graphdef/models/basic.gmfgraph -> NamedNodeRectangle
figure descriptor as an example.

Hi Nikolay,

had the same issue, when I moved from GMF 2.0 (or some Milestone of 2.1) to
GMF 2.1.
In your grafdef-model make sure, you set the correct layouts and constraints
for your elements:

My Figure, that looks like yours has the following definition:
RoundedRectangle XXX
- BorderLayout
- Label XXXLabel
- BorderLayoutData Beginning (vertical is set to true)
- Rectangle XXXCompartment
- BorderLayoutData Center (vertical is also set to true)
- Child Access (... for label)
- Child Access (... for comparment)
should do the trick for you.

Hi Alex,

I tried it and the line was moved in the right position! (that was good
:), but then maybe because the container has as layout FlowLayout, I
couldn't add the elements at each position I wanted in the container, for
example I couldn't add an element under an already added element (The
mouse pointer disallowed it), it worked only at its left or right side a
container in my bigger container.

If had only a container without nothing, then I couldn't add elements to
it by clicking in the middle of it. There was only some small area in the
upper/left side of the container where it was allowed for the mouse cursor
to click.

Maybe I need some other layout ... will check it out ...

Thanks,
Nikolay
