Hello Gaff,
I don`t think you need this IAction.
If you want to do something, when an attribute changes to a certain
value, I would say that you should do this:
Put the methods addNotationalListeners() and removeNotationalListeners()
into the EditPart of the node which value you want to observe. In the
add-method you add a Listener on the value you want to observe with the
method addListenerFilter(...) and in the remove-method you remove the
listener with removeListenerFilter(...).
Then you need to catch the Listener's Event in
handleNotificationEvent(...) in this EditPart (you have to check
notification.getFeature()).
So now when the observed value changes, you catch the event in
handleNotificationEvent(...).
Then you need to iterate over all nodes of this type:
all created EditParts can be found in the EditPartRegistry.
I get the EditPartRegistry like that:
DiagramGraphicalViewer dgv =
(DiagramGraphicalViewer)XXXDiagramEditor.getInstance().getDi agramGraphicalViewer();
Map editPartRegistry = dgv.getEditPartRegistry();
For that approach you need to add the getInstance-Method in
.....diagram.part.XXXDiagramEditor.
I don`t know, if there`s a better way to get the EditPartRegistry or a
better way to get all EditParts...
And when you have all EditParts you can iterate, search for the desired
type, get their figures and change the line-color.
Have fun! :)
Best wishes

Hello Gaff,
ok, if I understand you right, you have set up everything, and your only
problem is to iterate over all nodes to find the nodes with the right
property-values.
I still don`t understand why you want to select the nodes. But no matter
what you want to do with a certain amount of nodes (selecting them,
changing their color, changing their properties...), you first have to
iterate over all nodes and find the ones you want to work with.
Why don`t you take my suggested method:
DiagramGraphicalViewer dgv =
(DiagramGraphicalViewer)XXXDiagramEditor.getInstance().getDi agramGraphicalViewer();
Map editPartRegistry = dgv.getEditPartRegistry();
(you can do this also from within you IAction)
In this Map are all EditParts of the Surface, inclusive the
DiagramSurface itself.(debug it to see whats inside) When you iterate
over all EditParts you can ask if the elements are an instance of the
Nodes you`re searching for.
Then you get the sematic Element and ask, if it has the property-value
what you`re searching for. And if yes, you can do whatever you want with
the node :)
I do something simliar in my code. Here I´m searching for Locations:
DiagramGraphicalViewer dgv =
(DiagramGraphicalViewer)CmseditorDiagramEditor.getInstance() .getDiagramGraphicalViewer();
Map<?, ?> editPartRegistry = dgv.getEditPartRegistry();
if(!editPartRegistry.isEmpty())
{
Iterator<?> registryValues = editPartRegistry.values().iterator();
while(registryValues.hasNext())
{
Object o = registryValues.next();
if(o instanceof LocationEditPart)
{
LocationEditPart locationEditPart = (LocationEditPart) o;
Location location = (Location) locationEditPart.resolveSemanticElement();
}
}
}
Like I told you before, you need to add
.....diagram.part.XXXDiagramEditor.getInstance() manually.
XXXDiagramEditor is innately a Singelton, you just need to add the
method, so that you can grab its instance.
Best wishes

Hi Gaff,
that`s what I meant with getInstance():
/**
* @generated NOT
*/
private static XXXDiagramEditor instance;
/**
* @generated NOT
*/
public XXXDiagramEditor() {
super(true);
instance = this;
}
/**
* @ generated NOT
*/
public static XXXDiagramEditor getInstance() {
return instance;
}
Best wishes
