Hi, my GEF-based editor should get another type of view. Thus, I added
some switch-functionality to my editparts' createFigure method to create
the currect type of view, based on the current state of the model. When I
start the editor this i working just great.
I just have one problem: I want to change this state during runtime. Thus,
the editpart would need to remove its view and create another one, without
the hierarchy of the model and/or the editpart itself having changed (i.e.
just one boolean changed in the model).
Of course, this would be possible if I removed the old model-object and
created a new one. Then the parent editpart would take care of creating a
new editpart and a new view (in AbstractEditPart.refreshChildren). As i do
not change the model itself (don't add or remove anything) but just change
some variable inside one object, this is obviously not working.
I would need to tell the parent of the current editpart to recreate the
child's view. My last idea was to overwrite
AbstractEditPart.refreshChildren and add functionality to change the view,
but: "This method should not be overridden."
Is there a suggested way to do what I want?
Thanks in advance,
Christian Wirth

It means, at most case:) NO problems If you ensure your childpart right
processed. ex. change ZOrder need reorder children.

Yes, refreshChildren is an option.
And Figure self is an option too.
And refreshVisuals too, same like figure style.
