Hiya group,
I got my hands on an internal EMF/GEF project. It appears that, on the
graphical editor, the Delete action (right click - Delete) does not
appear on some figures.
Quite surprisingly, 'Delete' only appears on figures that are at the
root of the model (i.e.: drag & dropped on a blank worspace).
Anyone has got any lead in order for me to find the solution?
Thank you much.

I believe there is a delete request sent to the edit part. If the part does
not respond with a command that can delete it, then the part is essentially
un-deleteable.

CL,
Thank you for the answer.
As I said, the EditParts are capable of handling the delete request
since you can delete them when dropped on a blank workspace.
What would not trigger the delete menu when figures are nested?
Thanks!

Same thing. Have you set a breakpoint in your editparts delete request
handling method? If so, is it being called?
I think the delete request goes to the parent first. If the parent does not
forward it onto its children, or does not formulate a delete command for
the child, then they won't see it and no delete command will be generated.

All right, thanks I figured out where the problem came from.
I had a flag which, by default, disallows an EditPart to be deleted. Odd!
Many thanks for you help!
