Hi everybody,
I've got a problem regarding the eclipse properties view using a generated
EMF model. I've built a working graphical editor (gef), and from now I'm
able to see the properties of a selected object. But, I still have some
questions..
1. I've noticed that when I'm dragging/moving an editpart, the properties
view is not refreshing (x, y coordinates). So I took a look at the mailling
list and found several mails relating this issue. In the end, I have placed
something like a propertySheetPage.refresh() in my GEF stack
commandStackChanged(). Still, I'm not sure this is the best thing to do
(I've never seen this in the GEF examples).
First, what do you guys think about my implementation?
Second, how is this "refresh issue" working in the GEF examples, is this
because of the IPropertySource interface ? (different behavior than the
IItemPropertySource with the properties view maybe..)
2. My big issue at the moment is that there is no way my properties view can
handle multiple selections at a time. I can display properties for one
selected editpart but no more! (the properties view simply goes empty) How
this can be possible? Should I implement something more for this feature to
work?
As I am using an EMF model, my model objects are implementing the
IItemPropertySource interface. So what I did is implementing
IItemPropertySource for my editparts. Then I wrap the IItemPropertySource of
the model using IItemPropertySource of my editpart. The
getPropertyDescriptor() & getPropertyDescriptors() method return a
ConvertPropertyDescriptor (which implements IItemPropertyDescriptor and
keeps a reference to the IItemPropertyDescriptor of the generated model
object).
Is my implementation wrong?
Please help me,
Thanks.

In the EMF editor, that's how the properties view is refresh too. The
properties view doesn't handle fine-grained notifications, so refreshing
it anytime it might have changed (any time a command is executed) is a
brute force but reasonable way.

This sounds like the request in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=217280. There's a patch
for how to enable that.
