GMF common navigator Filter [message #236431] Sun, 19 July 2009 14:49 Go to next message

Hi

I'm trying to to create filters for my common navigator view but info
on how to add such filter seems a bit sparse.

My model file contains both a model node and a diagram node through
sharing a single file. I want to hide the diagram info. Also I'm using
uml2tools and I would like to hide certain nodes such as profile info.

Are there any examples to refer to?

(an effect similar to the java perspective which shows the contents of
a java class, and has filters which hide features such as @generated
etc)


regards
Steve

Hi Steve,

you maybe can look at the extension point org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent.
Never used but seems to be the right thing to do that.

Thanks Aurelien

I've used CNF before inc navigatorContent, I've tried using the filter
features before but never got them to work. Even the example from the
example EMF-GMF editor doesn't appear to work. I get my model contents
plus the diagram artefacts displayed in the navigator.


I know filters do work since the java filter on project explorer works
as I would want it to. Its just that I've never seen a working example
with a GMF editor which is using *DomainNavigatorContentProvider to
provide the input to cnf.

Also the new CNF editor in Extensions is annoying, when you add new
expressions via right click, the xml editor always has a warning saying
illegal input so I'm never sure if its working

regards
Steve

I've got a bit closer I think but not sure what to put in filter
expression. Most of this was created by the extensions editor but
the filterExpression doesn't offer any clues. (I found the class Browse
button shows up many options so I just selected the one I created for my
projects)


<commonFilter
activeByDefault="true"
class="contract.presentation.SelectionTreeEditorPart"
description="Hide Diagram Nodes"
id="org.tmf.businessService.ui.hideDiagramFilter"
name="Diagram">
<filterExpression>
<and>
<instanceof
value="ngoss.diagram.diagram.providers.NgossViewProvider"/ >
<test
property="ngoss.diagram.navigator.NgossNavigatorItem.myGroupName "
value="Diagram"/>
</and>
</filterExpression>

The Diagram node and its children is what I'm trying to hide.

ngoss.diagram.diagram.providers.NgossViewProvider is a GMF generated
class and contract.presentation.SelectionTreeEditorPart is the Tree
editor from the EMF-GMF joining


If I can get this working then there are similar items I want to hide
from the uml2tools editor
