Removing a connection between two nodes [message #209833]

Hey,

how I can remove a connection between two nodes?

I like to remove the connection and the reference and it should not be
visible anymore?!

The nodes must not be deleted.

I tried also with DestroyElementRequest, but my connection has not a
model-element. It is null.

Have you any idea?

Anything else, I can only use GMF 2.0.2

Best regards,
Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,

Try using DestroyReferenceRequest.

Hello Sebastian,

Sorry for the incorrect pointer in my first letter. Actually, we are destroying
edges using this code snippet:

protected Command getDestroyElementCommand(View view) {
EditPart editPart = (EditPart) getHost().getViewer().getEditPartRegistry().get(view);
DestroyElementRequest request = new DestroyElementRequest(getEditingDomain(),
false);
return editPart.getCommand(new EditCommandRequestWrapper(request, Collections.EMPTY_MAP));
}

In other words, use DestroyElementRequest without any parameters and send
it to the proper link EditPart to get the command back.
