getModifier() protected in AbstractTool [message #231252] Thu, 01 March 2007 16:59 Go to next message

Originally posted by: none.gmail.com

I have created a new tool that allows a user to select an EditPart or if
they drag, create a connection. This way they don't have to switch
tools. To create this tool I extended the
org.eclipse.gef.tools.TargetingTool. In the implementation of the
SelectionTool.updateTargetRequest() method the modifiers (keys) pressed
during the selection are added to the SelectionRequest using the
following call:
request.setModifiers(getCurrentInput().getModifiers());

I need to do the same thing in my new tool, but I get a compile error
when I make the same call, because the getModifiers() method from the
AbstractTool$Input class is protected. Is there a workaround to get the
modifiers into the request?

I found a workaround. It only works for the cntrl key though.

if(getCurrentInput().isControlKeyDown()){
request.setModifiers(MouseEvent.CONTROL);
}else
request.setModifiers(0);
}

Doesn't Input have a bunch of other methods as well to determine which
modifiers are set? If you still feel the need to have the modifiers field
exposed, open a bug report requesting that.
